Welcome!

Thanks for checking out my portfolio! I'm a 4th year computer science student based in Winnipeg, Canada with an array of programming knowledge, a background in Product, and an eye for design. This website was coded using React, Next.js and Bootstrap by me! 😁

Currently, I'm looking for co-op work for Summer 2024. Please continue reading to learn more about me!

The Story So Far...

I've always looked up to the big innovators in tech.

But growing up, I've also always been inspired by creatives within the worlds of music, fashion, and art.

My goal is to bring some of the values I admire from those worlds into my own work - focusing on user-oriented technologies that are refined and forward-thinking.

I'm super passionate about my values and I love working on projects that push boundaries and keep me on my toes!

              QDoc

              Software Developer (Co-Op)

              September 2023 - December 2023

              My second co-op work term at the MedicalTech startup QDoc was a huge opportunity for me not just to continue growing my skills as a developer, but also to apply the skills I picked up working at Gryd to bring some fresh ideas QDoc's design and product!

              My biggest project here was a complete redesign of QDoc's physician portal, which I developed singlehandedly from start to finish and began as my own initiative. I redesigned over 100 files and components to help improve UI/UX across the board!

              I also helped establish new cross-team design standards by building a Figma-based UI kit, and worked on a number of other features for QDoc's web apps through engineering, testing, and integration!

              Jan 2023 - May 2023

              My first co-op work term at the PropTech startup Gryd was a ton of fun! I led the work on some major projects for their GrydPark division that you'll hopefully see launched soon.

              Day to day, I designed product wireframes, flowcharts, specs, and roadmaps to guide our development team, and collaborated cross-functionally with devs, designers, and stakeholders to meet our client's needs.

              At AAFC, I had the opportunity to be a part of over 30+ crop research studies, helping develop some really interesting solutions for Canadian farmers. As part of a close-knit student team, I collected crop data on the field and organized it in Excel so that it could be easily analyzed by researchers.

              I was also the author 2 literature reviews, breaking down complex information concisely to help researchers write published papers!

              University of Manitoba Engineering Society

              Graduation Head Director

              Sep 2020 - Aug 2021

              In my second year of University, I served as the representative for 150+ graduating engineers, speaking formally to 80+ UMES members and casting votes on their behalf. I also led the planning for our graduating ceremonies, and connected with sponsors to keep our funding secure over COVID-19.

              First Year Committee Director

              Sep 2019 - Aug 2020

              In my first year, I learned about the formal procedures within UMES, represented 300+ engineering freshmen, and led the planning for a ton of fun events. My two favorites were our 'Bob Ross Paint Night' and our 'November Nintendo Night'!

              Domino's Pizza

              Team Leader

              Aug 2016 - Sep 2020

              Domino's was my first team-oriented job, my main job throughout high school, and the job where I met some of my closest friends today!

              I ran the store mostly by myself during the day, preparing orders while also getting the store and its inventory ready for the supper rush. During the rush, I played an anchoring role as our dough stretcher and often prepared 200+ items in an hour along with a team of 3-4 other line cooks!

              I played a managerial role for the store and its employees, making sure orders were always high quality and ready under our target numbers.

              Brandon Youth Soccer Association

              Referee

              May 2015 - Jun 2017

              My first job!

              As a teen, I refereed youth (9-18 y/o) soccer games, with the older divisions requiring some pretty heavy concentration and confidence in making decisions since I was alone. I had to communicate my calls and their reasonings to players, coaches, and parents, and resolve any conflicts that would come up as a result!
