About Me

Based in Toronto, Canada, I am a recent York University graduate with a B.Sc. (Honours) degree in Computer Science, now focused on building dependable software across research, engineering, and IT operations.

Right now I am working on research (Python ETL and automation for language-preservation linguistics workflows), engineering (full-stack apps for student clubs with React, Next.js, and TypeScript), and IT operations (university deployments, endpoints, and technical support).

I like building systems that are reliable in production and genuinely useful to the people who rely on them.

Education

York University, Lassonde School of Engineering — Specialized Honours B.Sc. in Computer Science (September 2022 – June 2026).

Path: Started in the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies (Honours Information Technology), then transferred into Lassonde for Computer Science — a strong foundation in IT, organizations, and programming before specializing in CS.

High school: Harold M. Brathwaite Secondary School (October 2021 – June 2022) and Applewood Heights Secondary School (September 2020 – September 2021).

Honours & awards: Dean's Honour Roll (York University), plus Academic Achievement Award and International Award of Excellence (high school).

My experience

Where I have built, supported, and led, from university IT and linguistics research to full-stack development for student organizations, industry software, municipal customer service, and exam invigilation.

Research Assistant

March 2026 to Present · Department of Linguistics, York University

I design Python tooling that ingests, validates, and reshapes ELAN linguistic annotations so tiers stay consistent and exports arrive as clean JSON and TSV. The pipeline removes repetitive boundary checks and gives researchers a dependable path from raw recordings to analysis-ready datasets.

Information Technology Assistant

August 2025 to Present · York University eServices

I provide L1/L2 support through our ITSM queue, troubleshooting Microsoft 365, VPN and campus connectivity, and the SaaS stack faculty rely on every day. I also help drive Windows 11 deployments with SCCM, shepherd onboarding cycles, and stay close to the asset lifecycle so classrooms and offices stay ahead of hardware drift.

Software Developer · Data Science Club

August 2025 to Present · York University

I lead architecture for a progressive web experience in Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, and Firebase, pairing SSR with live data sync and role-aware views for members, organizers, and admins. Recent focus areas include event operations with RSVPs and QR check-ins plus reusable motion-driven UI building blocks that keep club programming polished without reinventing the wheel each term.

Software Developer

January to September 2025 · Seed NanoTech International Inc.

I built Flask APIs that ingest real-time biosensor streams, combining NumPy and Pandas transforms with SQL and document-style storage for time-series analytics. Alongside the services work, I automated cleaning and reporting with Python scripting and Power Automate so validated results flow straight into SharePoint instead of living in one-off spreadsheets.

Customer Service Representative

August 2023 to Present · Town of Caledon

I help residents navigate municipal services with patience and clarity, whether that is explaining a process at the counter, resolving issues over the phone, or coordinating with internal teams when a case needs a specialist. The role sharpened my communication under pressure and my ability to keep complex policies sounding human.

Exam Invigilator

September 2023 to April 2024 · York University

I supported large-scale exam delivery across campus venues: verifying seating plans, upholding academic integrity expectations, coordinating accessibility accommodations, and keeping students informed when schedules shifted. It taught me calm execution in high-stakes environments where small details matter.

Team Member

Earlier role · Canadian Tire

Seasonal retail work on a busy sales floor, balancing friendly service, stocking and merchandising support, and tight teamwork during peak traffic. It was my first sustained taste of owning outcomes in front of customers, and it still informs how I communicate in technical roles today.

Information Technology Assistant

With York eServices, I support faculty and staff across the university — including work with the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies (LAPS). Day to day, that means L1/L2 troubleshooting through HaloITSM, Microsoft 365 and SaaS applications, VPN and network access, Windows 11 deployments via SCCM, and IMAC-style onboarding cycles so people can teach and administer without friction.

Volunteering

I serve as Director of Information Technology for the International Unity Club at York University — a student-run group that supports international students with resources, events, and community.

I built the club site on Next.js with SSR, Tailwind, accessible Radix primitives, and motion-forward storytelling, backed by lightweight content workflows so committees can ship updates safely. I also mentor a five-person IT pod through sprint-style delivery and stakeholder reviews, keeping the platform dependable during peak recruitment and orientation seasons.

Free Time Adventures

The rapidly evolving tech landscape, new languages, AI, and frameworks drive me to stay hands-on with side projects that keep my skills sharp and current because, let's be real, if I don't, I will be the guy dropping "Quantum ML Distributed Computing" in conversations and hoping no one asks me to explain it.

I also explore a wide range of subjects through books, from philosophy, economics, and geography to government policies and their impact on businesses. It helps me stay balanced and broaden my perspective beyond just CS.

Outside class and work I recharge with sports, following cars, and unwinding with Marvel and gaming — especially Call of Duty.

I also love nature: trails, open spaces, and anything that gets me away from a screen for a while.

Photo note: the best dog I ever had. Yes, I am a dog lover too.

Travelling

I'm a big time hiker and I don't shy away from travelling and exploring new places whenever I get the opportunity. Below are some images from my personal gallery.
