I am a self-starter who enjoys building things from the ground up, and working with cutting-edge
technology.
In my spare time I'm working on my music project
Scramble Suit, hiking,
bicycling, or soldering.
I am always on the lookout for new and exciting opportunities
- if you think I would be a good fit, feel free to
drop me a line.

JobFunnel
JobFunnel is a tool for scraping job postings from multiple websites into a single .csv file. I built it to save time spent clicking through job websites and encountering duplicates, irrelevant results, and advertising. It has since gained a global userbase with ~1.5k stars on Github and an active development community.
COVID-Net
At DarwinAI, I have had the opportunity to work closely with Dr. Alexander Wong, and have assisted in the development of COVID-Net, which is a neural network that is capable of identifying the presence of pneumonic COVID-19 from a chest X-Ray. This tool is able to discriminate well between other pneumonic infections and COVID-19. Additionally, in-conjunction with Gensynth's Inquire tool, insights can be obtained around the triggering information in the image. I focused primarily on building transfer learning tools to demonstrate that a measure of severity can be obtained as well. A complete version of this is realized as Covid-Net-S, which can be found on the project's Github.
Aterica Veta™
As a mechanical design contractor, I helped bring Aterica's smart epi-pen case to reality. Working from an initially 3D-printed prototype, I refined the design for injection moulding and built initial prototypes. I additionally spent development time analyzing failure-modes and designing components which accomodate the environmental conditions and material composition. The Veta™ is intended to save lives by providing real-time location and temperature feedback to people who rely on epinephrine auto-injectors.
EcoCar3 Camaro
As Engineering Manager for the University of Waterloo Alternate Fuels Team (UWAFT), I lead the
innovation and electrical sub-teams to an international hybrid vehicle competition by bringing
up critical subsystems and engaging faculty in research projects.
I managed a
number of students and designed and integrated the high and low voltage systems including fusing
design and simulation for requirements-generation.
In addition to this I worked
with the Waterloo's autonomous vehicles research group to develop a data collection platform
based around a phone app for the purposes of accelerating Advancd Driver Assistance Systems
(ADAS) development.
Frost-E-Bike
Made entirely of 6061-T6-grade Aluminum and with an IP-67 grade sealing, this ambitious
final-year capstone project was the culmination of multiple attempts to build a fun way to get
around campus no matter the season.
The bike has numerous additional features,
including torque-vectored steering, heated handlegrips, turning signals, regenerative braking
and pedalling, and over 2 kW of available AWD electric power!
Synthesizer
This was a fun project where I built a raspberry pi zero, a battery, a DAC and a tiny OLED screen into a USB-MIDI keyboard. On the software side it is running raspbian headless and uses PureData to handle the synthesis.This little keyboard works really well as a sampler!
