IDEAS THAT
SHIP.

My best work starts with a difficult question and ends with something other people can inspect, use, or build on.

Research / AI systems2026

When AI agents talk software engineering, what do they miss?

I first-authored an empirical study of technical discussions on MoltBook, using Python and NLP to examine autonomous knowledge representation and gaps in AI-generated debugging workflows.

Rebuilding commerce for speed, trust, and scale.

At InFuture, I migrated a React storefront to Next.js 16 SSR, designed protected PostgreSQL schemas in Supabase, and delivered production authentication and deployment workflows.

Where I have been

CODE.
CONTEXT.
CONNECTION.

I work across disciplines because real problems rarely arrive neatly labeled. Research gives me rigor. Engineering gives me a way to build. Leadership keeps the work grounded in people.

Why two degrees?

I don’t want to choose between understanding the system and understanding what it’s for.

At the University of Calgary, I study Computer Science and Finance. That combination shapes how I approach technology: technically rigorous, economically aware, and accountable to the people using it.
