I am a Computer Science student at the University of Alberta with hands-on experience in ML, federated learning, and privacy-preserving frameworks. I thrive on building scalable systems and turning research ideas into usable software. As a freelance developer and ML engineer, I design lightweight full-stack apps, train models for client reports, and deliver practical solutions with simple frontends and REST backends. I enjoy collaborating across disciplines and continuing to learn new ML and software engineering techniques.
