I am currently building Scaffold AI. I did my MSc. at the Mobile Robotics Lab, School of Computer Science at McGill University in Montreal. I was advised by Professor Gregory Dudek. I received my BASc. in Computer Engineering from the University of Toronto. Throughout my undergraduate, I was involved in leading the University of Toronto Robotics Association (UTRA) and co-founding Robotics for Space Exploration (RSX).

I was a member of the 2015-2016 cohort of the prestigious Next36 entrepreneurship initiative.

In my spare time, I enjoy writing/playing music (bass/guitar/violin), parkour, basketball, and biking. I also follow the NBA and esports.

Research interests:

During my graduate studies, my research centered around the application of machine learning and computer vision methods to mobile robotics, particularly underwater ones. I also dabbled with some reinforcement learning. You can read more here.
