The Mission:

"I'm a Full-Stack ML Developer with one clear goal: building AI that solves problems that actually matter. At Queen's University, my PhD pushed me to work on things I genuinely cared about, from using Geospatial AI to help protect wetlands, to building AI models that support mental health. For me, technology is only worth building if it makes a real difference, whether that's protecting the environment or creating AI that puts people first."
