Hey there, I'm a Software Engineer at Scotiabank building agentic AI platforms and high-value payment systems in Toronto. I proposed, built, and now lead the agentic AI development platform for FTM including the developer and agentic tooling around it that our payments team is piloting.

Previously, I founded Canadian Codes (RAG search for 56 building codes, UofT ICUBE / Microsoft for Startups) and ModelQuoter (AI marketplace with Stripe Connect). I graduated from the University of Toronto and specialized in Computer Science with a minor in Entrepreneurship.

In my free time, I love to travel, build cool things, and I'm always up for new experiences!

Some cool stuff I’ve worked on

A building permit question answered with citations, the cited bylaw page open in a PDF viewer alongside

A retrieval search product over Canadian building, fire and electrical codes, federal to municipal, that answers in plain english and opens the exact provision it used. Because when an answer MUST be correct, you can't risk a predictive answer.

An instructor dashboard showing a live understanding score, a distribution of student responses, and upvoted questions

A real-time classroom feedback system used to maximize student understanding: anonymous Q&A with upvoting, live polls, and a real-time understanding pulse, so an instructor can see how the class is doing while they're still teaching.
