Student graduating 2027 at the University of Toronto. AI/ML Software Engineer.
Who I Am
I am a Honours Bachelor of Arts in Communication, Culture, Information and Technology (CCIT) and Sociology student at the University of Toronto Mississauga. I build modern web experiences, ship fast, and learn new tools obsessively.
I am the type of builder who takes an idea from rough concept to live and working, then keeps iterating until it feels clean, fast, and polished. From winning DeerHacks V to competing at GenAI Genesis and Hack the Globe, I love pushing boundaries at hackathons and turning ambitious ideas into working products under pressure.
Currently an AI/ML Systems Engineer Intern at Paideia Mundi NeuroSystems Institute, Lead Full-Stack Developer for the UTM Billiards Club, and Webmaster Intern at MINOA.
When I am not building, I am usually at the gym, playing billiards, catching sunsets, or listening to music while I work.
