About

I'm a Product Engineer with 2 years of experience turning technical complexity into real-world impact - through scalable systems, human-centric tools, and fast-moving prototypes. I specialize in backend-first product development - designing APIs, integrating AI, and building systems that scale. Currently based in Toronto, pursuing a Post Graduate program in Full Stack Software Development at Lambton College while actively working on AI-integrated tools and internal platforms. I believe product engineers should build with purpose - focusing on fast feedback loops, clean abstractions, and delivering value, not just code.
