My core interests are:

  • finding problems
  • solving them

I am deeply interested in building software and machine learning models that are simple, effective, and beautiful. Check out my blog!

Currently, I’m a Machine Learning Research Engineer at RBC Borealis serving as tech lead on ATOM - a foundation model for financial services.

I obtained my Master of Science degree in Computer Vision and Machine Learning from the University of Alberta. I have publications at top conferences such as CVPR, ICCV and EMNLP.

Two of the tools that I worked on during my undergrad are being used in a practical setting (Dead Sea Scrolls [1], [2], Wiener Library [1], [2]).

Outside of work I enjoy doing improv comedy, lifting heavy weights, and supporting the Edmonton Oilers.
