Undergraduate Research Intern Research Internship

Western University, Dept. of CS · London, ON May 2026 – Aug 2026

Audited and generalized an interpretable Machine Learning pipeline (Kernel-OLS) that tests whether classical scientific laws need sparse, transportable corrections, consolidating previously separate domain-specific models into a single unified framework.
Authored extensive technical appendices for a manuscript targeting Nature Machine Intelligence, providing mathematical justification for pruning choices, ElasticNet advantages, and alternative model selection methods, ensuring full reproducibility.
Contributed to the strategic reframing of domain-specific results into a unified pipeline-focused manuscript and advised on framing to emphasize methodological novelty over domain specificities.

AI/ML Research Assistant Research

Western University, Dept. of CS · London, ON Sept 2025 – Apr 2025

Designed and generated 5 finance-related synthetic datasets with known causal ground truth, enhancing the ability to evaluate the robustness of Explainable AI (XAI) methods under complex real-world scenarios.
Conducted controlled experiments on synthetic data to assess robustness of XAI techniques under non-normal and skewed output distributions.
Implemented a model-agnostic, non-parametric Stat-XAI framework that enables interpretable & statistically valid explanations of ML models, even with severe violations of normality. Targeting an IEEE publication.

Software Engineer Industry

Krebs Bay Road Chiropractic · London, ON Jun 2025 – Aug 2025

Led the design, development and deployment of a responsive clinic website with React, Next.js, and TypeScript, resulting in a 90% increase in CTR.
Designed user-friendly UI/UX flows in Figma, ensuring 99% mobile and desktop compatibility, and deployed seamlessly via Vercel for fast loading and responsive performance.
Optimized IT systems, reducing startup time by 30% through strategic software updates, cache clearing, and driver updates leading to smoother day-to-day operations.
