I'm a software engineering student at Western University with a focus on applied AI development. I bring a new perspective on how we can solve problems with new emerging technology and I thrive in fast-paced iterative environments.

Right now I'm a software engineering intern at Kiyoko Beauty, an online store for Asian beauty products, from September to April. I work on the AI side: I helped launch a beauty assistant on Kiyoko's Shopify store that recommends products based on a shopper's skin concerns, and I build the retrieval pipelines behind it with Vertex AI Vector Search and Gemini embeddings. I'm also building a mobile app with React Native and Supabase that helps people put together a skincare routine from any products, including ones Kiyoko doesn't sell.

Before that, I built a Graph-RAG ingestion pipeline at McGregor-Allsop, and on the side I'm building Mneme, my own document-to-memory service.
