About

I’m a Software Engineering student at the University of Calgary with experience across startups and established tech companies. At Aptum, I enhanced cloud systems by migrating monoliths to microservices and adding GPU support for AI workloads. At Sigma, I improved eCommerce operations by integrating APIs and implementing CI/CD pipelines, reducing testing time by 98.75%. I’ve also led development at Rethread and Bandist, two startups, where I built scalable platforms and integrated services for over 10,000 users. As VP Software Development for Student Energy UCalgary, I increased engagement by 70% and led software team recruitment. Currently, I joined an AI-powered personalized skincare venture focused on B2B2C solutions.
