Who I am

I'm a Computer Science graduate from Acadia University in Halifax, Nova Scotia — BSc (Co-op), GPA 3.86/4.33, graduated August 2026. I build fullstack digital solutions with a strong interest in AI safety, UX design, and data science — and I love working on things that have a real-world impact.

Currently working as a Major Accounts Consultant at Eastlink, managing enterprise accounts across telecom, finance, and technology verticals. Most recently before that, I placed 3rd out of 80+ teams at the Mila × Bell × Kids Help Phone AI Safety Hackathon — building a real-time safety classifier for youth mental health chatbots, achieving F1=0.905 at 25ms on CPU using a multilingual ensemble model. I've also built AI-powered apps for food redistribution and car dealerships, and a full campus safety platform for Acadia.

On the professional side, I've worked as a Junior Software Engineer (Co-op) at SolutionInc, a Business Analyst at Lunenburg County Lifestyle Centre, and a Residential Specialist at Bell Aliant where I drove a 30% quarterly sales increase. I'm currently part of the Study & Stay Nova Scotia Capstone Program through EduNova.

Outside of code, I founded the Acadia Photography Club and have been active in community leadership through the Wong International Centre.
