What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values innovation and offers opportunities for professional growth.

As a co-founder of TradeChainAI, I have developed backend automation tools in Python that enhance underwriting processes for credit insurance. My experience includes piloting an AI-enabled trade finance platform in collaboration with the African Development Bank and multiple financial institutions, streamlining workflows for SME risk assessments.

Previously, I served as a Quantitative Analyst Intern at Brockport Finance, where I built project finance models for cross-border deals in emerging markets. My role involved automating cash flow forecasts and integrating custom insurance coverage to facilitate deal execution in high-risk areas. Additionally, I led a team at OmniPlane, where we created an innovative AR/VR stylus, recognized as one of McGill’s top startups.

My academic background in Electrical Engineering from McGill University, complemented by a minor in Applied Artificial Intelligence, has equipped me with a solid foundation in data structures, machine learning, and computer vision. I am eager to leverage my skills in a dynamic environment that fosters innovation and growth.
