About

Comfortable being the least experienced in the room.

I’m a fourth-year CS student based in Toronto. I’ve built authentication used by over a million TD Bank customers, a multi-tenant events platform from scratch, and machine learning for a health app. Lately I’m learning agentic AI, deep learning fundementals, and 3D rendering. I’m also really into chess, badminton, and music!
