A Software Engineering student at Western University passionate about building resilient, high-performance systems at the intersection of AI, robotics, and cloud-native infrastructure.

Currently leading a full autonomous VTOL mission system at Western Aero Design, building predictive maintenance models at Motorshield, and architecting a computer vision analysis platform for Canada Basketball.

I thrive in deep technical challenges — from PX4 firmware and LoRa telemetry to CNN/Transformer architectures and scalable data pipelines. Previously modernized enterprise data infrastructure at Ajinomoto Foods, identifying over $150,000 in annual savings.

# I've been using Vim for years... mostly because I don't know how to exit.
