About me

A software and AI guy who builds for fun.

I'm a first-year Honours Computer Science (AI) student at Sheridan College, focused on software development and artificial intelligence. I've been into technology for as long as I can remember, and I'm convinced AI is the next era of it.

I also serve part-time as a Signals Operator in the Canadian Army Reserve, where I operate and troubleshoot communications equipment and keep systems running under pressure. I'm working toward a career in IT — and I'm currently looking for part-time roles and internships in the Oakville/Toronto area.

In my free time, I'm a builder: I 3D model and print my own parts, tinker with Raspberry Pi and Arduino boards, and I'm planning my most ambitious project yet — a real-life BB-8 droid with AI. Outside of all that, I'm a gym regular, I play badminton, and I'm a story-mode gamer on PS5 — give me a good single-player campaign over multiplayer any day.
