About Me

I'm a current Honours Math + CS student @ McGill interested in software engineering and machine learning.

Experiences

Previously, I interned at Ramp in NYC during the summer of 2025 as a backend engineer intern on the Core Growth team. I also interned at Autodesk as a frontend intern developing our error management system for our internal video player. At Ribbon, I worked in Go to develop a package manager for cloud native applications.

I also interned at Boehringer Ingelheim as a data scientist for two years, developing data-driven solutions for clinical trials and email send times. Additionally, I am a researcher / software developer at LabTNS/University of Montreal, developing OCRx, a Canadian ontology.

Projects

Some of the projects I'm proud of include

  • Inspiratiq: One of the websites I made for my sister's shop! It was made using Gatsby, Stripe, as well as React. Visit it here
  • iNews: a fake news detector using a state-of-the-art stance detection model and scrapes multiple websites to verify the credibility of the source and check for existing fake news articles on it.
  • Summarize and Ask: A simple website made under 24 hours using Streamlit and MobileBERTSUM as well as BERT to both summarize and answer any questions of any text.
  • Connect 4 AI: This was one of my very first projects and was inspired by Alphago's Monte Carlo Tree Search. Monte Carlo Tree Search was used to implement a superhuman connect4 AI bot.
