About

Engineering solutions that move at the speed of business.

I'm a Software Engineering student at the University of Calgary with a passion for building scalable systems that solve real problems. From automating enterprise workflows to advising on ESG strategy through AI, I bring both technical depth and business acumen to every project.

As a Power Platform Developer and Co-President of the Product Management Club, I bridge the gap between technology and strategy translating complex requirements into elegant, high-impact solutions across industries.
