What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a backend, full-stack, or AI/LLM role at an early-stage, non-Canadian startup. I prefer remote work from Vancouver with US/EU overlap, and I'm open to full-time or contract.

At RAMMA, I co-founded an AI company helping universities and businesses adopt AI. I built per-course RAG chatbots grounded in professor-approved material and trained university professors to use AI in research, grading, and curriculum design.

For a food manufacturer, I built an internal operations dashboard with Next.js and Firebase, plus a RAG system over years of order history that cut order-formula work from 1–2 days to ~20 minutes.

I also built and launched Ashayer, an online jewelry store, from code to marketing, and have designed and built websites for small businesses. I trained for the IOI and solved 2,000+ problems across Codeforces, AtCoder, CodeChef, and Quera.
