I'm a fourth-year CS student at UAlberta.

My work spans scalable full-stack applications, data pipelines, and compiler design. I've shipped a hyperlocal commerce platform with ~70k lines of code leading a team of 7, done undergraduate research in pose estimation, and won a hardware hackathon.

I pick up new domains quickly and care deeply about getting the details right.

Internships, research, and upcoming roles

Full Stack Developer Intern
CGI Inc.
May 2026 - Present
Edmonton, AB
- Cut regression testing time by 80% at ~90% coverage on a government platform serving 2M+ workers by engineering a 150+ test automation suite in Playwright and NUnit across 21 user roles in Azure DevOps CI/CD.
- Resolved 20+ critical production-blocking bugs before they reached 161,700+ employers by authoring diagnostic SQL queries against production-scale relational data and layering role-based UI, integration, and security testing (SQL injection, account lockout, MFA).
- Unblocked defect resolution in account lifecycle batch processing by reverse-engineering data lineage from C# services down to the SQL persistence layer and modernizing technical docs.
- Improved API consistency and maintainability by redesigning 10+ endpoints to REST standards and validating frontend-backend data contracts through replicated API calls in integration tests.
Software Engineer Intern
Near Buy Goods
Jan 2026 - Apr 2026
Edmonton, AB
- Architected and delivered a full-stack software ( 70k LOC), leveraging geospatial queries (PostGIS) and optimized APIs to handle high-volume product search and location-based queries with low latency.
- Designed an async bulk-ingestion pipeline (Celery + Redis) that lets retailers upload thousands of products at once with AI-assisted field mapping and live progress updates without blocking the main request thread.
- Maintained a 921-test suite (595 backend + 326 frontend) integrated into a CI/CD pipeline that automatically ran tests, built the APK, and deployed to a live production server on every merge.
Project Management Intern
XposureNow Technology
Jan 2026 - Jan 2026
Edmonton, AB
- Led a team of 3 students and coordinated with the client to deliver the project on time and aligned with expectations.
- Designed a web application prototype in Figma, creating user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity UI designs.
Undergraduate Research Assistant
University of Alberta
May 2025 - Aug 2025
Edmonton, AB
- Engineered a batch-processing pipeline that automated 90%+ of pose-estimation evaluation, computing joint- and segment-level accuracy metrics against motion-capture ground truth for a 6-model benchmarking study.
- Built a 3D mesh and joint visualization tool that reduced model-review time by ~50% and became the team's primary interface for validating markerless tracking outputs.
- Benchmarked 6 open-source pose-estimation models, eliminating 83% of candidates and identifying the model ultimately deployed in production.
Software Engineer in Test Intern
Scale AI
Jan 2025 - Apr 2025
Remote
- Analyzed 300+ pull requests from open-source repositories and redesigned 500+ task specifications and validation suites for AI agents, driving an ~30% increase in task-completion performance.
- Contributed to model training and evaluation workflows that improved LLM performance on multi-step reasoning, planning, and code-related tasks.
- Reverse-engineered undocumented code changes to reconstruct expected behavior, turning ambiguous fixes into reproducible test scenarios that improved long-term test coverage.

Teaching and student organizations

Sep 2024 - Dec 2024
Ada's Team
Computing Science tutor
Volunteer tutoring for introductory computing science: helping students build confidence with core concepts, debugging, and coursework so the material clicks outside the lecture hall.
Sep 2024 - Apr 2025
University of Alberta Aerial Robotics Group (UAARG)
Software Developer - Autopilot
Worked on Voyager, a drag-and-drop drone programming app that lets operators compose instruction sequences visually instead of hand-writing low-level flight code. The tool focuses on an approachable UI, real-time feedback on the planned path, customizable movement commands, one-click execution, and save/load for reusable missions - aimed at members with a mix of technical backgrounds while still supporting serious automation.

FraudFlow

Real-time payments fraud detection pipeline: PySpark Structured Streaming over a bronze/silver/gold Delta Lake medallion architecture, delivering fraud signals end to end in under 60 seconds with exactly-once processing. A confluent-kafka producer with LZ4 compression and card-keyed partitioning sustains 1K–50K transactions/minute with zero message loss, verified via Prometheus and Grafana. A composite velocity / z-score / geo-anomaly scoring model surfaced 261 fraud alerts across 50K transactions on Databricks, publishing to a downstream Kafka topic in real time.
