I studied bioengineering with a software engineering minor at McGill University, and somewhere between fluid dynamics simulations and CAD models, I realized the part I enjoyed most was building, modeling, and analysis — turning messy data and requirements into something you could actually reason about.Over the past three years, I’ve worked across a range of products and industries — from parking apps and real-estate marketing platforms to patient tracking dashboards and AI-powered tools. I love shipping scalable systems and polished interfaces, but I’m just as drawn to what’s underneath — whether the thing we built actually holds up.Other things I'm about: calm UIs, playful microcopy, a clean git log, well-calibrated models, polydactyl cats, new experiences
