About Me

Who I Am

I'm a software engineer and Master of Applied Computing graduate from the University of Windsor, with a strong focus on backend development, ML systems, and computer vision.

My work spans GPU-accelerated AI inference at JLR, FastAPI backends for industry-academic projects, Spring Boot recommendation APIs, and ML-powered prediction apps — I love building things end to end.

I bring CS fundamentals to production systems, whether that's optimizing Linux concurrency or building digital twins for sustainability research.
