About

I’m a Computer Science student with an AI specialization at the University of Waterloo and a Business Administration student at Wilfrid Laurier University, with experience spanning software engineering, cloud automation, testing, and technical project management. I’ve worked across startups, enterprise teams, and public sector environments, building AI-powered features, internal platforms, and scalable systems that improve reliability, efficiency, and user experience. I’m especially interested in solving complex problems, learning quickly, and building technology that creates real-world impact.
