About

I'm currently pursuing a Masters Degree in Computer Science at Queen’s University, focusing on the application of Machine Learning and Big Data Analytics in healthcare. Passionate for technology and helping others, I've previously worked on image-guided surgical systems as a research assistant at Queen's University. I’ve also done work as a freelance web developer and graphic designer. Outside of work, I’m an avid outdoorsman and cook. From hiking up mountains to playing hockey, I love to spend my free time being active.
