A full scholarship brought me to Vancouver for an exchange program — a city full of greenery and rain. I soon realized I wasn’t built for endless cloudy days, so I moved to Montreal to study at McGill University, where I found both challenge and clarity.
I’ve always loved trying new things — from exploring different fields of study to discovering the joy of snowboarding, where I earned my CASI Level 1 certificate after my very first season. I see every new skill as a small experiment in growth.
With the help of large language models (LLMs), I began to see how the knowledge I’ve built — in mathematics, computer science, and analytics — can truly help people solve real problems. That realization led me toward becoming a Solution Architect, someone who connects technology with human needs.
I don’t limit myself. I’m always ready for new challenges, open to opportunities, learning, and exposure.
“If there’s one thing that will always make me happy, that’s learning. "
My Journey
Background
I’m currently exploring opportunities in AI/ML, with experience in multiple fields including Medical and Consulting
What Drives Me
I’m driven by the challenge of utilizing AI and machine learning algorithms to solve real-world problems and help people. My curiosity makes me a fast learner and constantly pushes me to explore how data, empathy, and logic intersect — turning complex problems into clear, impactful solutions. I believe AI should empower people and make technology feel human.
Interests
Snowboarding & Flow
After finishing my undergrad, I felt a bit lost — I was searching for a software development role, but fixing bugs every day didn’t feel like the kind of problem-solving I loved.
That changed when I discovered snowboarding. It grounded me, reconnected me with flow, and reminded me how much I love learning through movement and challenge.
In my very first season, I earned my CASI Level 1 Instructor Certificate, and now I’m passionate about freestyle and park riding — constantly pushing myself to improve while enjoying every fall, turn, and breakthrough.
It’s become more than a sport — it’s a mindset: balance, adaptability, and flow, the same principles I bring to my work in AI.
Piano & Expression
I started playing the piano at age four, with parents who always encouraged me to learn at my own pace. They never forced me to follow the traditional path — when I didn’t enjoy classical music as a kid, they let me explore and play what I loved.
That freedom shaped how I express myself today. As an adult, I’ve grown to appreciate classical pieces deeply — but I also love re-imagining my favorite songs and turning them into my own piano versions. It’s become my way of releasing stress and grounding myself after long days.
No matter where I live — renting or not — there’s always a piano waiting for me. It’s my constant companion, a quiet anchor that keeps me balanced and inspired.
It’s more than music — it’s my language of calm and creativity.
