About me

I'm a Computer Science student at York University who likes turning ambiguous problems into shipped software. My focus is full-stack web development and cloud infrastructure, from modelling data and building APIs to deploying containerised services on Azure.

Most recently I interned on an infrastructure team where I configured Docker-based services in a Microsoft Azure enterprise environment and ran security reviews of internal data systems. On my own time I build full-stack products like CashTrackr AI, an AI-assisted personal finance app.

I care about clean, accessible interfaces and reliable systems behind them. I'm currently looking for a co-op or internship where I can ship real features alongside a strong engineering team.

Things I've built

A few projects that show how I think about product, data, and UX.

CashTrackr AI

Featured

2026

A full-stack personal finance web app with a React + Vite + TypeScript frontend and a Node.js/Express backend connected to PostgreSQL via Prisma.

  • Modelled relational data (users, expenses, categories) with Prisma and exposed it through an Express API powering dashboards, expense CRUD, and per-user data isolation.
  • Integrated the Google Generative AI SDK to suggest expense category groupings with a preview-and-apply workflow so users review AI suggestions before saving.
  • Designed a fintech-style dark/light UI in Tailwind CSS from a custom Figma prototype.

Drone Wayfinder

Featured

2026

A RedTeam Hackathon entry: an autonomous drone agent that navigates a branching obstacle course in an Unreal Engine simulator (ProjectAirSim), making decisions live from its camera feed.

  • Programmed an autonomous drone in Python via the ProjectAirSim async client (takeoff, move-to-position, yaw control) to fly a timed, branching course.
  • Built a computer-vision routine to read directional arrows and count spheres from the drone's camera, driving the binary turn decision at each junction.
  • Handled GPS-denied (HARD) mode with waypoint navigation and state estimation fusing onboard IMU, barometer, and magnetometer data.

Developer Portfolio

Featured

2026

A modern, fully responsive portfolio built with Next.js (App Router), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui, with dark/light theming and motion.

  • Built mobile-first with semantic HTML, accessible focus states, and prefers-reduced-motion support.
  • Scroll-spy navigation, theme toggle, and staggered reveal animations for a polished feel.
