About

I’m obsessed with building production-ready products that actually solve problems. Since starting CS in 2021, I’ve gone wide across full-stack dev, ML, DevOps, SRE, LLMs, RAG systems, and more. This is because I believe breadth fuels speed and creativity. Right now, I’m a Site Reliability Engineer at Canada’s largest bank working on agentic AI, while also diving into entrepreneurship. Outside tech, you’ll find me playing guitar, attending hackathons, tinkering with my home server, or working out (this is rare though).
