Software Engineering Student | Researcher | Communications Specialist
I’m a software engineering student at Centennial College (Toronto) with a passion for problem solving, education and web development. Over many years, I’ve nurtured a deep interest in technology and web programming through freelancing and personal projects.
I’m also a (mostly) retired graduate student in political science. Between 2018 and 2022 I was heavily engaged as co-chair and technical lead in building Drawdown Toronto, an incorporated non-profited dedicated to promoting climate action.
You might have seen me on the big screen: in 2016, I had a role in the movie Downsizing, playing a scientist with Matt Damon. You can read what that was like in my blog.
