Software engineer · Toronto / Nairobi
I’m a Computer Science and Psychology student at the University of Toronto. Recent work includes an internship application system with 23 Postgres tables, an on-device iOS app and widgets, a codebase-to-course plugin, and a 1,200-game search benchmark.
UofT Computer Science + Psychology. I build full-stack products, iOS apps, and search systems.
Open to software engineering and ML internships and co-ops.
23 Postgres tables 1,200 benchmark games
I like projects where product decisions and technical decisions are the same conversation: state models that match the workflow, release gates that protect user data, and benchmarks that state their limits.
I study Computer Science and Psychology at UofT on the Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship, a full-ride merit award valued at more than $400,000.
Selected work
Each case study covers the problem, my contribution, the difficult decisions, and the evidence behind the result.
An internship application system for finding roles, tracking status, tailoring LaTeX resumes, and planning outreach.
An on-device iOS app that turns travel photos into fridge magnets and mirrors each fridge in Home Screen widgets.
A Claude Code plugin that turns a codebase into an interactive course with overview and deep-dive tracks.
A 4×4×4 game engine and benchmark for random, greedy, minimax, and Monte Carlo players.
Experience
Data analysis, governance, fundraising, and production work that made the constraints concrete.

Committee Member
Helped lead programming for more than 330 scholars, governed a $10,000+ annual fund, and built a structured cross-cohort mentorship system.
Chief Financial Officer
Planned marine-conservation projects on the Vipingo coast and secured more than $20,000 in grants, including an IB Global Youth Action Fund award.
Assistant Director + Co-Producer
