About

Short narrative + what you’re aiming for. Keep it scannable.

Who I am

Mechatronics Engineering Honours (Co-op) student at the University of Waterloo. I like turning ambitious ideas into working systems — especially where AI meets real-world constraints (compute, sensors, hardware, UX).

What I do

  • Ship deployable CV prototypes (real-time detection, UI overlays, device integration).
  • Build end-to-end AI pipelines (retrieval, structured prompting, batch processing, output rendering).
  • Lead initiatives and teams (school digital leadership, community projects).

Projects

Feature your best work. Add links (demo/video/GitHub) as you publish them.
