Engineer by training,
builder by habit.

Bio

I'm a third-year Computer Science Honours student at the University of Calgary, on the Dean's List and enrolled in the Science Co-op program. I split my time between research on agentic AI systems and shipping production web apps as a freelance developer.

I recently built a custom MCP server wiring a local LLM into ParaView to autonomously drive 3D volume rendering, work now submitted to the Undergraduate Research Symposium. On the freelance side, I'm building a full-stack logistics platform for a transportation client using Next.js, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL.

Before software, I spent two years as an electrical apprentice. That trained me to debug systems I didn't design, document what I touched, and finish the job before going home.

Outside of school, I like working out, spending time with friends and family, camping, birdwatching, exploring new cafes and restaurants, and learning classical guitar.
