  1. Summer 2025

    Associate Software Engineer

    Sun Life Financial

    Designed and prototyped an automated user-creation process on Salesforce, cutting manual admin overhead. Built a support-ticket response bot to improve response times and prioritize based on severity. I used these two projects to pitch Einstein AI’s capabilities to Sun Life VPs and directors.

    Software Engineer

    Oakville Center for Vision · Difference Goggles Project

    Advanced a Python system that tracks pupil and iris movement, adding programs to correlate that movement with a patient’s field of vision. Helped prototype dichoptic goggles, a form of medical equipment used to diagnose amblyopia (lazy eye).

// My Story & Projects

01

Where it started

Where it started — 2020-2021
Fun Fact: We had to re-CAD and 3D-print the limbs 4 seperate times, resulting in a color transition from gray to green to orange and finally to blue!

2020-2021

My first exposure to computer science was through robotics. During the COVID-19, I, alongside some friends was inspired to build a cubing robot to put into practice our programming skills. Through this project, I learned to love the process of building, and the skills that came with it helped me throughout my programming journey, such as my high school robotics team.

Competing to Learn

Competing to Learn — 2022-2025
This is an image of DMOJ, a platform dedicated to high-school competitive programming and a website that I spent thousands of hours on, eventually reaching the rank of Candidate Master.

2022-2025

Competitive Programming and Math dominated my high school years, with my hard work culminating in my qualification for the highest level of the United States of America Computing Olympiad (Platinum) and scoring 55/75 on the 2025 Canadian Computing Competition. These experiences sharpened my problem solving skills and changed my approach to learning, skills that remain critical in everything I do.

Going beyond the Textbook

Going beyond the Textbook — 2025-2026
An interesting phenomenon that I suggest everyone interested in this topic to do is to go to Google Images and search up "Duct Tape Man" and compare it with "Duct Tape Woman"

2025-2026

AI Research started as a way to vent my frustrations with the state of competitive prorgramming as a result of AI. But soon, it became more than that. With funding from University of Toronto Schools, I built an AI workflow to study how gender personas affect LLM’s reasoning and chain of thought. Helped by Emily Napier, Rachel Ma, and advised by Alan Kraguljac, I’m working toward publishing these findings.
