Aaron Thomas

Computer Engineering graduate (Cum Laude) with hands-on experience building and evaluating AI and machine learning models for real-time, safety-focused applications. Strong background in Python, computer vision (YOLO, OpenCV, TensorFlow, PyTorch), and embedded systems (Raspberry Pi, Arduino, C/C++). Comfortable designing test scenarios, defining edge cases, and evaluating model performance against real-world conditions, then documenting findings clearly for both technical and non-technical audiences.

Currently pursuing a Master of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering with an AI and robotics focus.

Systems & Process Automation Intern at Humber River Hospital (2025-06 – 2025-08)

• Built a Python automation tool to migrate 80,000+ patient records into Meditech, replacing a fully manual process with automated navigation, data entry, and validation using PyAutoGUI and Regex.
• Raised peak throughput from 400 to over 1,300 files per day while keeping a human-in-the-loop review step and detailed logging to catch and trace errors quickly.
• Trained a TensorFlow model to auto-correct page orientation on scanned records at 92% accuracy, cutting manual review time by several hours per week.
• Parallelized OCR processing with a multiprocessing thread pool, reducing processing time during peak periods while monitoring CPU load on shared workstations.

Data & Policy Analyst Intern at Environment and Climate Change Canada (2024-09 – 2024-12)

• Built a Power BI dashboard covering 1,000+ EV records to surface trends in incentives, eligibility, and charging access, with filters by province, vehicle type, and income bracket.
• Engineered reproducible Python data cleaning pipelines and documentation, translating complex findings into plain-language insights for policy stakeholders.
• Researched rural EV charging gaps and cross-provincial policy differences, summarizing external industry reports for internal use.
