My name is Saana Selvan
and I'm a front-end web developer.
Born in Toronto and raised on 3 separate continents, home is a constant state of learning fuelled by curiousity and the desire to understand. After years of deep diving into various human languages and muticultural communication, I was itching to expand my horizons.
Webdev has been everything I've been searching for. I'm especially interested in playing whatever part I can in making the web a more intersectional, inclusive and accessible space one aesthetically appealing app at a time.
Outside coding, you'll find me singing and dancing whenever possible. If not, I'm cooking, baking, mixing drinks or picking up yet another random hobby (lately it's been archery, 10/10 would recommend).
