About Me

As a self-proclaimed computer enthusiast, I've always been fascinated by the world of technology. From computer builds and repairs, to programming, to networking, or even the fascinating world of IoT. I've always been interested in learning more about the field of Computer Science. Presently, I am immersed in my undergraduate studies at Concordia University, pursuing a degree in Computer Engineering. My foundation in Computer Science Technology, acquired at Vanier College, serves as a robust precursor to my current academic pursuits. Currently, I am using the knowledge I've gained thus far to teach others to code, as well as developing my own software solutions and applications at DriveCX. Of course, I'm always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow as a developer and engineer.

At DriveCX, I've taken on many different projects. The majority of my work has been in upcoming company projects, where I've been responsible for developing new features, fixing bugs, and integrating new APIs. Using PHP, I've developed an MVC backend application that processes data, formats it, and presents it in the DriveCX Dashboard with an AI generated summary using the ChatGPT API. I've also tackled web applications, using Node.js and React, as well as angular, to develop applications that enable retail teams to better communicate, and to help consumers have better experiences in retail locations. Lastly, I've worked on a Flutter Utility, with the purpose of enabling DriveCX to better share business intelligence with potential or current clients.


Hydro-Québec

Software Developer Intern
January 2023 - May 2023

At Hydro-Québec, I was responsible for developing new features for an existing MVC framework that would pull data from a database based on dates provided, plot the data into a graph per time interval, and compile these graphs together to form an animated gif. The gif would allow consultants to visualize the data in a more intuitive way, and it would allow them to evaluate the efficacy of the ML model used for the prediction portion. The project was developed in Python, using a variety of libraries such as Matplotlib, Pandas, and Plotly.


John Abbott College

Video Game Database Developer
December 2022 - May 2023

Contracted by John Abbott College, I, with a team of developers, was responsible for creating an educational video game targeted at the Chemistry department. The game was developed in Unity, and I took on the responsibility of developing and integrating the database that would be used throughout the game. The database was developed in the NoSQL Firebase Realtime Database, and it was responsible for storing player data, game data, and the scoring information for the in-game leaderboard.


Bell / Cellcom

Sales Representative

I also took on a technical support role, aiding customers with activation, data transfer, and general diagnostic and troubleshooting of their devices.


Independent Tutoring

Computer Science Tutor
January 2022 - September 2022

During my studies at Vanier College, I took on the role of Computer Science tutor for students in earlier semesters of the program. I worked under the tutoring and academic success centre for a semester, and then transitioned to private tutoring for the following summer. During this time, I aided students in understanding the fundamentals of programming, game development, web development, and networking, amongst other things.


Staples Canada

In my four years at Staples, I took on many roles. I was trained in operations, sales, and technical support. The main responsibility I held whilst at the company was the role of in-store Computer Technician, where I was responsible for product activations, data transfers, diagnostics and repairs of technical equipment, such as desktop PCs, laptops, printers, and really any other consumer tech product offered at Staples. I was also in charge of general customer assistance, answering questions and breaking down complicated technical problems in a way anyone can understand.


Riverside School Board

Attendant and Student Supervisor
