I’m engineering Privacy and ML features at Firefox for 250M+ users and built open-source tools (MarkUs & PythonTA) used by 10k+ students. Also leading Blueprint, UofT AI. Previously won (Hack the North, UofTHacks, Google’s Toronto Hackathon) and organized Anthropic’s Toronto hackathon.

I’m fascinated by history and geopolitics. I’d placed 1st in Ontario and 5th Nationally in debate, coaching six cohorts of students. Previously a competitive swimmer, I’m now a triathlete training for the national age group team, racing a few Ironmans and ultra events this year.
