Don Laliberte

Computer Science student at the University of Calgary. I'm passionate about our growing community and creating the impact I want to see with my work.

The short version

Full-stack developer, designer-by-necessity, perpetual tinkerer. I build things I want to exist because I believe in their value. I do it out of love for creating.

What I care about

I like self-improvement and pushing the quality bar in this industry. I build tools with users in mind, while still keeping my whimsy. Takeaway, I'm a "measure twice, cut once" kind of person.

Outside the grind

Music, esports, organizing communities, and building in my own style. I bring a distinct mix of creativity, leadership, and technical depth to the CS community at UCalgary.
