Research Assistant at Department of Mathematical Sciences, Trinity Western University (2025-05 – Present)

Research Assistant - Immersive Assistive Technology at Department of Mathematical Sciences, Trinity Western University (2026-05 – Present)

• Awarded the Undergraduate Student Research Award (USRA) to lead research and engineering of multisensory assistive technology supporting literacy engagement for children with deafblindness and complex sensory needs.
• Built a working proof-of-concept integrating microcontrollers, haptic feedback, and multi-device wireless networking, validated directly with educators and accessibility specialists.

Research Assistant - Human Motion Analysis at Department of Mathematical Sciences, Trinity Western University (2025-09 – 2026-04)

• Built a PyTorch model that generates motion synchronized to music, using velocity- and acceleration-aware losses to improve sync accuracy by 2.4% over the GAN baseline and earning positive feedback from a professional conductor; co-authored into a paper accepted to IEEE AIIoT 2026.

Research Assistant - Computational Criminology at Department of Mathematical Sciences, Trinity Western University (2025-05 – 2025-08)

• Built a domain-adversarial transfer-learning model in PyTorch that generalizes crime-risk predictions across cities, cutting prediction error by 11% (R2 = 0.96) over a non-adversarial baseline; accepted for publication at IEEE CCWC 2026.

Academic Technology Ambassador at TWUOnline, Trinity Western University (2025-05 – 2025-12)

• Automated R-based Moodle content processing with custom Python scripts and built a new quiz-creation system for instructors, cutting manual course-production work by 90% and saving 250+ staff hours across 50+ courses for TWUOnline's course-production team.

Software Engineer – Startup at VOS Solutions Inc. (2024-12 – 2025-04)

• Designed the database schema and prototyped core backend workflows, covering scheduling, player management, and tournament logistics, in C# and.NET for an early-stage volleyball management platform, validated directly with the founding team through hands-on demos.
