Grade 12 IB and OSSD Student and community-driven innovator with proven excellence in STEM, computing, and digital technology. I build AI-powered hardware and software, from collision-preventing smart helmets to offline assistive vision devices, while leading STEM clubs, mentoring younger students, and volunteering with community organizations.

Languages, hardware, and platforms I use to take ideas from sketch to working prototype.
Four independent builds spanning AI, robotics, mobile development, and assistive technology.
AI · Hardware
Active
An AI-powered smart bike helmet offering real-time vehicle detection, active collision prevention through turn signals and laser indicators, and automated emergency crash response.
AI · Assistive Tech
Active
An AI-powered, offline wearable assistive device that helps individuals with visual impairments navigate hands-free. Built for just $210 CAD using KiCad for electrical schematics, it runs entirely without an internet connection to protect user privacy, combining multiprocessing, trained YOLO computer vision models, and text-to-speech for real-time obstacle avoidance, text reading, and conversational environment descriptions.
Mobile App · Sustainability
A mobile app encouraging sustainable transportation choices that support both the environment and personal health. A public survey of 120 respondents found that 9 in 10 people were interested in the app, and 91.6% felt a sense of satisfaction when making sustainable transportation decisions.
Robotics · IoT
A robot proposed to help users clear snow from driveways and sidewalks, combining a custom mechatronics design with a user-friendly mobile app, cloud computing, and smart push notifications. Users can operate it indoors while viewing a live-stream feed, turning a tedious chore into something convenient, intelligent, and safe.
