What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead AI data-annotation and design initiatives, build scalable, accessible products, mentor teams, and contribute to research-driven multimodal AI in collaborative, growth-focused environments.

I am a full-stack web developer and UI/UX design specialist with experience building scalable web products and teaching the next generation of engineers. I currently lead AI data-annotation pipelines at TELUS International AI, architecting multi-tenant platforms that process millions of labels monthly and implementing real-time collaboration to support thousands of concurrent annotators.

I have designed and delivered extensive curricula and design systems, mentored dozens of students and professionals, and contributed to open-source documentation and community mentoring programs. I am passionate about clean code, accessible interfaces, inclusive design, and advancing multimodal AI through high-quality datasets and human-centered workflows.
