Katie Campbell  

Welcome to the APPrentice! My name is Katie and I am a 3rd year commerce student at Queen’s University. I consider myself to be an above average tech user. After my first year of university, I had the privilege to work at Bell Canada where I quickly learned the ins and outs of backend CRM and channel programming. From there, I went to work at a software company called Red Hat. This experience sparked my interest in tech and helped me realize first hand how it's rapidly disrupting industries and the way people go about their daily activities. I hope our content helps you navigate your life with just a little bit more ease!

Favourite App:  Drunk Mode, because it has saved me many nights of embarrassing texts  

Least Favourite App: Any banking app because who wants to know their bank balance when they're a student

Matt Tam (Twinkie: Yellow on the outside, White on the inside)

Glad you are interested in reading about me. My name is Matthew and I am currently in 3rd year in the Commerce program at Queen’s University. I am from Toronto, Ontario and have been lucky enough to grow up in such an amazing city. I have a strong passion in sports and travelling and hope to one day visit all the continents around the world. I would classify myself as an average phone user, however, I do love finding out about new apps that can make my life that much easier. Hope you enjoy our content!

Favourite App: GuitarTuna, since I have no idea how to tune my guitar without it

Least Favourite App: Desmos, which is a mathematics app that helps display functions in a graph form. Using this app back in grade 12 gave me way too much unneeded stress

Hello everyone! My name is Michael and i’m a 3rd year Queen’s Commerce student at Queen’s University. I have had a passion for tech ever since I was a wee lad when I used to 1v1 quickscope noobs on rust. Recently these passions have migrated over to web/app design and working at a tech startup called FlipGive last summer. However, even though I love tech my main passion is to travel the entire world and hopefully learn a ton of languages. Ps hmu if you want to run a quick 1v1 lol.

Favourite App: Trello, because I wouldn’t be able to get anything done without it

Least Favourite App: Google Translate, because it gives me PTSD from spanish 101
