Built a stateless Kotlin/Ktor application that allows a user to create, write, edit and search blog posts within an Kubernetes-ready micro-service. Structured codebase with Clean Architecture and interface-backed components via Koin DI, and implemented full authentication using JWT tokens and BCrypt-hashed passwords. Packed with a multi-stage Dockerfile and supplied Helm-ready Kubernetes manifests

Built an end-to-end pipeline that measures student engagement & emotions using YOLO, SORT, HopeNet, DeepFace, TensorFlow and PyTorch. Under the supervision of Dr. Abdallah Mohamed, achieved 97% accuracy and co-authored a paper accepted to the 2025 IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Led the design and development of a scalable, full-stack donation tracking platform using Angular and ASP.NET Core, organized using a clean layered architecture ready for micro-service decomposition. Implemented JWT authorization and RESTfulAPIs, containerized and deployed the full stack using Docker to UBC's production servers, and wrote unit-tests with a test stage for CI/CD. Drove Agile deliver

Directed a 6-person team in creatively solving complex computer vision challenges, architecting neural networks, and optimizing preprocessing pipeline, improving jersey number recognition accuracy by 5%. Fine-tuned Vision Transformer (ViT) models using transfer learning and hyperparameter tuning, and created Matlab tools for edge detection, image stitching, and camera calibration.

Awarded the Database Web Development Badge for a top-scoring project (≥ 90%). Developed a full stack, Amazon-style ecommerce site using Java, JSP, JDBC and ER/UML Schemas.

Enhanced social media engagement with new creative video content that increased views by over 30%. Coordinated monthly events, including logistics from DJ hiring to vendor setups, and onboarded new businesses with corporate memberships driving a revenue increase of over $15,000.
