About Me

Engineer who builds end to end.

I'm a Computer Engineering student at Toronto Metropolitan University with a focus on building software that's both technically deep and practically useful.

My interests span applied AI, scalable backend systems, and full-stack development. I like taking a problem from concept all the way to a deployed, working product — whether that's an AI-powered recommendation engine or a high-concurrency URL shortening service.

Beyond engineering, I bring experience leading teams as a shift manager and collaborating cross-functionally from my time with game development. I'm looking for roles where I can contribute to meaningful systems and keep growing as a builder.
