PROJECTS (^_^)
Photoplethysmogram (PPG) Heart Rate & Variability Monitor
Real-time PPG Signal Processing Web & Mobile Streamlit App
- Upload a simply-recorded live video for PPG analysis.
- Obtain heart rate and variability metrics in real-time.
- Provides a predicted cardiac rhythm and alerts for potential issues.
Improving Clay Reclamation
Together with a Praxis Team, partnered with stakeholder Anne Gibson from Kalon Ceramics, Toronto, understood the operational limitations in small studio clay reclamation and developed a small-scale automated pugmill system of mechanical mixing and contaminant filtration.

COVID-19 Cases Visualization
A mentor-research project worked with Dr. Stephanie Black, New Hampshire University, created a data visualization dashboard for COVID-19 statistics and provides forecasts based on previous trends and density.
AI Autocomplete
An autocomplete system using machine learning ideas to predict user input. It loads a text file of (weight, term) pairs into memory and sorts the array lexicographically by term once at startup. Then use binary search to find the lowest and highest indices that match the prefix and copy that slice and sort it by descending weight to produce final suggestions.

Seam Carving
Seam carving is an image processing technique for content-aware resizing. This project implements seam carving in C: it computes per-pixel energy from image gradients, uses dynamic programming to find the minimum-energy vertical seam, backtracks the path, and removes it to reduce width by one pixel.

Semantic Similarity & Synonyms
This project builds a semantic descriptor for each word: a dictionary counting how often other words co-occur with it in the same sentence (from your training corpus). Then compares words by cosine similarity of those vectors. The starter spec describes this pipeline and the cosine metric.

AI Gomoku
A Gomoku game that uses basic machine learning techniques that allows a user to play against the computer (AI). The computer will examine all possible moves and choose the best one based on the current board state.
EXPERIENCES
Co-founder & Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
Spark Learning Inc. (sparklearning.ca)
Co-founded a startup focused on providing personalized mentoring and academic planning services for high school and university students. I designed the operating model, trained new mentors, and led the platform's technology. These included but not limited to designed a privacy-first autoscheduling system and the official website.
President, Head-Instructor
Computer Science & Digital Media Club
One of the largest school STEM clubs, divided into two portions: Computer Programming and Website Design. I held lectures on Java and Python, guided members to understand coding structure and programmed mini-games. Created mock AP exams and help sessions regularly when approaching an exam or competition.
Teen Ambassador, Mentor
Canada Learning Code (CLC)
Lead seminars and workshops for one of the largest non-profit Canadian organizations, mentored students with a class size over 50, focusing on the Python language.
