Experience

Professional roles and real-world operations.

Software Developer Intern (AI/ML)
Reliability of Web Tools • Mar 2023 – Jun 2025 • Remote (US)

Built and deployed neural network models to estimate material reliability under stress, designing automated scoring to standardize evaluations and reduce manual review time. Streamlined Python + Azure AI pipelines to deliver an 83% performance optimization, then partnered with a U.S.-based team to ship model updates, testing workflows, and reliability dashboards that made results easy to interpret and track. I owned the end‑to‑end ML loop: data preparation, training, evaluation, and monitoring, plus experimentation on model structure to balance accuracy and speed. I also documented model behavior and edge cases, coordinated validation with stakeholders, and helped package the pipeline so the team could reproduce results consistently across runs.

Team Member
Red Swan Pizza • Jul 2024 – Aug 2025 • Edmonton, AB

Supported front-of-house service in a fast-paced restaurant environment, handling POS transactions, cash, and order coordination during peak rushes while maintaining a consistent customer experience. Kept operations flowing by communicating clearly with the kitchen, monitoring timing in the oven line, and adapting to rapid order changes without disrupting service. Balanced accuracy with speed, verified tickets and special requests, and managed multiple priorities in tight time windows. The role demanded strong situational awareness and teamwork to keep wait times low and ensure every order left correctly and on schedule.

Competitions

Problem-solving under pressure and team engineering.

APEGA — Science Olympics
Second place provincially • Oct 2024 – Apr 2025

Led a 4‑person team through planning, prototyping, and testing of a competition robot that combined a gyroscope, infrared control, and magnetic detection. We achieved reliable underground object identification, tuned stability and response, and presented technical results for a top‑tier provincial finish.
