About

04 / Proof

I'm a Toronto-based Computer Systems Technology student and developer who likes the space between a messy workflow and a useful product. My work spans Microsoft 365 automation, full-stack delivery, and the product thinking needed to make both worth shipping.

Right now I'm an FSWEP student working in AI automation and IT at the Canada Revenue Agency, and I lead development and product discovery at Barakah Rewards. Before that, I shipped the public platform for re:pair genomics and led a five-person roadmap project through Riipen.
