I'm a fourth-year CS student at UAlberta.

My work spans scalable full-stack applications, data pipelines, and compiler design. I've shipped a hyperlocal commerce platform with ~70k lines of code leading a team of 7, done undergraduate research in pose estimation, and won a hardware hackathon.

I pick up new domains quickly and care deeply about getting the details right.

Experience

Internships, research, and upcoming roles

Full Stack Developer Intern
CGI Inc.
May 2026 - Present
Edmonton, AB
- Building internal web applications using Blazor and .NET, contributing to full-stack feature development within an enterprise environment.
Software Engineer Intern
Near Buy Goods
Jan 2026 - Apr 2026
Edmonton, AB
- Architected and delivered a full-stack software ( 70k LOC), leveraging geospatial queries (PostGIS) and optimized APIs to handle high-volume product search and location-based queries with low latency.
- Designed an async bulk-ingestion pipeline (Celery + Redis) that lets retailers upload thousands of products at once with AI-assisted field mapping and live progress updates without blocking the main request thread.
- Maintained a 921-test suite (595 backend + 326 frontend) integrated into a CI/CD pipeline that automatically ran tests, built the APK, and deployed to a live production server on every merge.
Project Management Intern
XposureNow Technology
Jan 2026 - Jan 2026
Edmonton, AB
- Led a team of 3 students and coordinated with the client to deliver the project on time and aligned with expectations.
- Designed a web application prototype in Figma, creating user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity UI designs.
Undergraduate Research Assistant
University of Alberta
May 2025 - Aug 2025
Edmonton, AB
- Designed and built an automated data-quality pipeline monitoring 13 pose categories across 10 participants, flagging coverage gaps before they reached model evaluation and preventing wasted training runs.
- Built a 3D mesh and joint visualization tool adopted by the research supervisor as the primary interface for reviewing markerless tracking outputs, replacing ad-hoc manual inspection.
- Benchmarked 4 pose-estimation models against real-world workloads and delivered a trade-off analysis that directly determined which model the team shipped to production.
Software Engineer in Test Intern
Scale AI
Sep 2024 - Apr 2025
Remote
- Reviewed 300+ pull requests across multiple codebases to understand system behavior deeply enough to write regression tests that caught real bugs before they reached production.
- Rewrote 500+ task specifications and test cases for AI agents, lifting success rates by∼30% demonstrating that clear, well-scoped requirements matter as much as the code itself.
- Reverse-engineered undocumented code changes to reconstruct expected behavior, turning ambiguous fixes into reproducible test scenarios that improved long-term test coverage.

Volunteer

Teaching and student organizations

Sep 2024 - Dec 2024
Ada's Team
Computing Science tutor
Volunteer tutoring for introductory computing science: helping students build confidence with core concepts, debugging, and coursework so the material clicks outside the lecture hall.
Sep 2024 - Apr 2025
University of Alberta Aerial Robotics Group (UAARG)
Software Developer - Autopilot
Worked on Voyager, a drag-and-drop drone programming app that lets operators compose instruction sequences visually instead of hand-writing low-level flight code. The tool focuses on an approachable UI, real-time feedback on the planned path, customizable movement commands, one-click execution, and save/load for reusable missions - aimed at members with a mix of technical backgrounds while still supporting serious automation.
