About

With a robust foundation in Mechatronics, Robotics, and Automation Engineering from McMaster University, I have honed my skills through diverse roles in the tech industry. Currently, I am an Automation Developer at IBM, where I focus on QA testing in agile environments, working with advanced technologies like WatsonX and AI. Previously, I contributed as a Software Developer at Ross Video, enhancing the OverDrive APC system with React and fixing numerous bugs. My experience at AMD as a Systems Design Validation Intern involved optimizing memory performance and leading automation initiatives. At BlackBerry QNX, I improved JUnit integration tests and maintained Eclipse plugins. My journey began at Farm Boy as a Cashier, where I developed attention to detail and customer service skills. My technical expertise spans Java, Python, React, and more, with a strong commitment to delivering high-quality solutions.
