I'm a software engineer at Scotiabank currently working on global high-value payments. I proposed and built, and now lead the agentic AI development platform for FTM including the developer and agentic tooling around it that our payments team is piloting.

Before Scotiabank, I graduated from the University of Toronto and specialized in Computer Science with a minor in Entreprenership. I also built two products: Canadian Codes, a retrieval system over Canadian building codes, and ModelQuoter, a home-renovation marketplace.

In my free time, I love to travel, build cool things, and I'm always up for new experiences!

Some cool stuff I’ve worked on

A building permit question answered with citations, the cited bylaw page open in a PDF viewer alongside

A retrieval search product over Canadian building, fire and electrical codes, federal to municipal, that answers in plain english and opens the exact provision it used. Because when an answer MUST be correct, you can't risk a predictive answer.

A room photo beside a generated after render and an itemized estimate

A two-sided home-renovation marketplace: homeowners turn a photo into a modeled design and an itemized estimate, contractors bid against it and get paid by milestone.

An instructor dashboard showing a live understanding score, a distribution of student responses, and upvoted questions

A real-time classroom feedback system used to maximize student understanding: anonymous Q&A with upvoting, live polls, and a real-time understanding pulse, so an instructor can see how the class is doing while they're still teaching.
