About

4th-year Software Engineering student at uOttawa with a focus on Full Stack Development and System Optimization. I build secure, scalable platforms that solve complex problems; from modernizing legacy infrastructure to architecting department-scale case management systems. Engineering Highlights: • uOttawa Faculty of Law: Migrated and optimized infrastructure for 3,800+ pages, reducing load times by 55% and manual audit time by 70%. • Health Canada: Built a secure Python/Streamlit case management system, automating document pipelines to cut processing time by 80%. • 8x8: Optimized internal REST APIs and CI/CD pipelines, reducing deployment feedback time by 86% via Docker & Kubernetes. Leadership: As the former Co-Director (now Advisor) of the uOttawa Software Engineering Students’ Association (SESA), I led a 28-person team to bridge the gap between 3,000+ students and 20+ partners including AWS and Microsoft. Technical Stack: Java, Python, TypeScript, React, Spring Boot, Docker, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL. I am currently seeking New Grad opportunities (2027) where I can continue building high-impact, scalable software.
