About

Technology is most useful when it is clear, secure, and connected to people.

I’m an incoming Computer Science student at the University of Alberta with interests across cybersecurity, software engineering, data, artificial intelligence, and technical communication.

Professional introduction

Building, documenting, and sharing what I learn.

My work brings together software, cybersecurity, communication, and community service.

I have developed web projects with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, and JSON; built focused Python and security learning labs; and written articles about Python, databases, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and developer tools.

Technology content creation is another important part of my work. Through Technolot, I have built an audience of more than 200,000 YouTube subscribers while practising content strategy, video production, thumbnail design, search optimization, analytics, and community management.

Community work has made the technical work more concrete. I contributed more than 270 hours over three years to the Community Book Exchange, supported TELUS World of Science summer camps, presented at CANEFOR 2025, and volunteered with the BSides Edmonton 2025 Social Media Team.

Development process

Learning by building

I turn new concepts into small, documented projects before combining them in larger work.

01

Study the concept

Review computer-science, cybersecurity, programming, database, data, mathematics, and physics material.

02

Build a focused lab

Use Python, web technologies, or data tools to practise one idea with a clear scope and honest status.

03

Document and connect

Write a README or article, use Git and GitHub, and connect the lesson to community or creator-platform work.

Courses and professional development
