A short version
I'm a software developer with experience in full stack and cloud applications. At Quest Software Inc. I work on backend services using C# and .NET on Azure. At ImmediaC I worked on an ERP platform built with React and .NET, including AI features using the OpenAI API. At Dalhousie's Student Accessibility Centre I built a Java tool that automates exam scheduling.
I also do machine learning research at Dalhousie, where I'm studying glacier melt patterns using satellite data and working on my Honours thesis on detecting rare attack types in network intrusion detection. Before that, I analyzed fMRI data through the Dalhousie Machine Learning Society to look for biomarkers in SCA7 patients.
Outside my technical roles, I lead a mentorship program with the Dalhousie Women in Tech Society, host workshops and events with the Dalhousie Machine Learning Society, and help organize events and initiatives on the Faculty of Computer Science Leadership Team.
