My background

Originally from Toronto, I moved to Calgary during my teenage years, where my passion for technology truly took flight. At the University of Calgary, I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Computer Science, laying a strong foundation for my future endeavors.

My fascination with technology led me to roles in several teams around Calgary, remotely, and in Mountain View, where I've built software, led teams, and taught others.

I've had the thrill of building drones and autonomous vehicles, and I've used AI to make them smarter. From helping robots "see" to processing human language, I've dabbled in many facets of AI.

App development is another area I enjoy. I've made apps for mobile and desktop, and I've used tools like Photoshop and Blender to make them look great.

Outside of work, I enjoy 3D printing, volleyball, swimming, hiking, and games of all sorts. I'm always exploring new tech and looking for ways to use it to make life better.
