As a soon-to-be graduate with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Computer Engineering from Queen's University (expected April 2026), I am seeking a full-time post-grad position where I can apply my passion for full-stack development and system design.

My technical capabilities were heavily tested and proven during my 15-month tenure as a Data Scientist at Innovation Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED). There, I engineered the "Canadian Productivity Monitor" using R and Power BI to automate the ingestion of economic data. By replacing manual narrative synthesis with automated pipelines, I cut reporting turnaround times by over 90%. I also developed complex automation scripts using Python and R to process UN Comtrade data , and built a Python web scraper to provide real-time tracking of geopolitical indicators. This experience taught me how to transform raw, unstructured data into directed analysis that directly guides executive decision-making.

Beyond my professional experience, I continually push my technical boundaries through complex engineering projects and hackathons. For my senior capstone, I developed a custom deep learning architecture for "EIT Linkband," a low-cost wearable device for non-invasive hand position estimation. Additionally, competing in Major League Hacks' QHacks allowed me to hone my full-stack skills by building "Storybook ML," utilizing a React Native frontend and a high-concurrency Python backend integrated with the OpenAI API.

I grew up in Ottawa and have always valued hard work and community. While my recent professional focus has been deeply technical, the grit I learned from tree planting and the problem-solving I honed while helping open a fast-paced restaurant remain core to my work ethic.

I have a great passion for computer engineering and science. To me, it is an opportunity to explore the world through problem solving. I enjoy designing algorithms to solve problems and learning the technical ins and outs of systems, and I am eager to bring this dedication to a full-time engineering role.
