About Me
Some of
My Experience.
Throughout my time in university, there have been a lot of different hats I’ve worn. From freshman to now starting my third year as an HBA, here are some of the highlights!
Sep 2024 - Present
HBA Candidate | Sep 2024 - Present
Starting in September 2024, I will be joining Ivey Business School as an Honours in Business Administration (HBA) student where I will be diving into the thrilling intersection of business and tech! Getting to graduate with two degrees (CS and HBA) will be an exciting way for me to explore my passions in both business and tech, while joining an exciting community of entrepreneurs and like-minded individuals at Ivey!
VP of Projects | Sep 2023 - May 2024
As VP of Projects at Western Founders’ Network (WFN) from September 2023 to May 2024, I got to lead some awesome projects, including creating the Harbour Link app (see below). Starting off as a director really set the stage for me to mentor some super talented directors and was strong highlight of my second year at Western!

Summer 2023 Internship | May 2023 - Aug 2023
Summer 2023 at the Ontario Ministry of Transportation was a game-changer! I led a project to develop an AI tool for resume ranking, diving deep into how technology can streamline processes. This internship was a major learning experience, packed with challenges that boosted my skills in real-world tech applications. I got to explore tech ranging from DevOps and CI/CD to React and Tensorflow!
First Hackathon | November 2023
In November 2023, I jumped into my first hackathon, Hack Western 9, where I used Python, OpenCV, and cloud technologies to solve create HoverTouch! It was a crash course in innovation and teamwork, and I loved every minute of it!

Since starting at the University of Western Ontario in September 2022, my life has been non-stop excitement.

Every day brings new experiences and chances to grow as programmer but also as a person!
