Final-year Computer Science student at UPEI with a specialization in Video Games, graduating spring 2026. Currently a Software Engineer at Iron Fox Games in Charlottetown, PEI.

I build things across the stack, from custom 3D game engines and GPU particle systems in C++/OpenGL, to mobile apps with Flutter, desktop accessibility tools in C#/.NET, and AI-powered platforms with TensorFlow. I care about writing clean, performant code that ships.
