Engineering.
Energy.
AI.

I'm an AI Engineer at Opendoor in Toronto. Before that, I worked on applied AI and renewable-energy development at Potentia Renewables.

My education is in mechanical engineering. I graduated from McMaster summa cum laude. Before Potentia, I worked at Algonquin Power across asset management and energy markets.

Since the ChatGPT moment in late 2022, I've been all in on learning how this technology works. That started as a personal obsession and turned into practical work: building internal AI tools, testing agent workflows, and thinking about how people stay in control when software can take action.

This site is a place to share what I'm working on and the ideas I keep coming back to.

What I'm interested in

Applied AI, automation, renewable energy, finance, and crypto/blockchain. I keep coming back to tools that change how people make decisions, move money, build infrastructure, or coordinate work.
