About
I study Computer Science and Mathematics (Joint Honours, minor in Statistics) at the University of Manitoba. My work is in discrete mathematics and algorithms — combinatorics on graph and tree structures, approximation algorithms in geometric settings, and extending diffusion-based neural networks to hypergraphs. I work across the GADA Lab, the Terrabyte ML Research Group, and the Department of Mathematics.
On the engineering side, I build enterprise software at LG Electronics. I've also worked at Hoek Insights and Timeero, contributing to early-stage products.
