Today

I'm the Lead Founding Engineer and CEO of Solus, an AI finance assistant with 2,200+ waitlist members launching April 2026. I also built Philo, a philosophy journaling app with 65K+ users and $34K ARR, with zero funding.

I lead Index Competitive Club at UAlberta, with 18 wins, 41 podiums, and $20K+ in prizes. I'm on the iGEM dry lab and software team building a glycan-targeting ocular therapeutic for the International Genetically Engineered Machine competition in Paris this November.

Previously, I was a Data Analyst at the Government of Alberta, where I automated provincial housing inventory workflows across 84 organizations and 90,000+ units.

When developing products, I aim to make them simple, calm, and exactly right for their purpose and the users.
