Data & AI Consultant · Vancouver, BC
I'm a Data & AI Consultant and Forward Deployed Engineer on Insight's Cloud, Data & AI team, where I work on AI agent solutions and the client conversations around them.
I'm finishing a BSc in Computing Science at Simon Fraser University (December 2026).
Before this I was a data engineering intern at SAP, and as VP Events at the Simon Fraser Student Society I led a campus concert with 784 tickets sold the day before the show.
