Who I am.

I'm a Software Engineering student at the University of Calgary and startup co-founder with hands-on experience across AI/RAG systems, cloud automation, and full-stack product development.

I'm drawn to opportunities at the intersection of technology and strategy, where strong technical depth, clear thinking, and an understanding of users all matter. From co-founding TowQuick to building enterprise automation for ATCO and AI compliance tools at Sustentra, I'm building a career that connects engineering with real-world impact.
