recognition:     Dean's List — Fall 2025, Winter 2026
previous_role:   Junior Technical Business Analyst, Government of Saskatchewan
previous_focus:  GEM Program — province-wide Oracle HCM deployment (w/ Deloitte)
interests:       AI/ML tooling · transit systems · data-driven automation
philosophy:      "Ship something real, then make it rigorous."
looking_for:     Co-op / term positions in software development, data, or BA roles

I'm a Regina-based CS student who splits time between production business-analyst work on a province-wide Oracle HCM rollout and personal projects that lean into Python, data, and full-stack development. I like taking a messy, ambiguous problem — a stakeholder requirement, a public transit API, a noisy stock series — and turning it into something structured and shippable.

💼 Featured Projects

🚌 GoTransitRegina

Transit-data platform for Regina's bus network.

Python scripts pull live route & polyline data from the transitlive.com API across 22 bus routes, with structured JSON output and defensive HTTP error handling
Architected toward a full-stack build-out: MVC structure, Jest test coverage, REST APIs, event-driven cron prediction jobs, Twilio/VAPID push notifications, JWT/RBAC auth, Google Maps integration, and CI/CD
Stack: Python Node.js REST APIs JSON

📈 Stock Price Prediction Dashboard

Time-series forecasting for Canadian equities.

LSTM and Prophet models built with TensorFlow, Pandas, and NumPy to forecast Canadian tickers (RY.TO, SHOP.TO, ENB.TO)
Evaluated with RMSE / MAE / MAPE across models to compare forecast quality
Model output piped to CSV and visualized in interactive Power BI dashboards
Stack: Python TensorFlow Prophet Power BI
