Work History

Academic Peer Tutor

McMaster University
09.2024 - 05.2025
  • Assisted 8 students in Calculus I & II with limits, derivatives, integrals, series, and applied problem solving.
  • Guided group of peers through Linear Algebra concepts such as matrices, vector spaces, eigenvalues, and transformations by using step-by-step examples.
  • Supported team of 5 students in Python programming projects that combined math and coding (e.g., numerical methods, graphing functions, and data analysis).
  • Helped peers connect theory to application by showing how calculus and linear algebra underpin coding, AI, and data projects.
  • Encouraged active learning by breaking down complex problems into smaller, approachable steps and checking understanding through practice examples.

Club Manager

Engineering Club at McMaster University
09.2023 - 05.2024
  • Led a team of 4 people and managed the design of a QArm robotic system for transferring objects using an actuator-driven mechanism in 5 weeks.
  • Helped 4 of my teammates understand and apply rotational physics concepts (torque, angular momentum, mechanical advantage) to calculate actuator force requirements.
  • Applied calculus for motion planning and optimization of object transfer efficiency.
  • Co-created a unique CAD model that simulated a bridge-like transfer system, combining physics equations with practical design.
  • Supported coding integration using Python controllers to automate the QArm’s motion.

Software Test Engineer

BusyQA
11.2022 - 01.2024
  • Built and ran 50+ automated test cases with Selenium, cutting regression effort by 40%.
  • Optimized scripts to reduce execution time by 35%.
  • Logged 50+ critical defects and improved test coverage by 25%.
  • Performed UI, API, and performance testing to validate release quality.

Hackathon Volunteer Representative

Starhacks
  • Co-developed CancerCnect, a web/app platform to support cancer patients with team over the course of 2 days.
  • Integrated features like peer support, motivational content, and fitness/diet plans.
  • Won Most Popular App Award at Starhacks II.
  • Adapted quickly after losing a team member, ensuring project completion under tight deadlines.
  • Ensured accessibility by adding ASL and speech-to-text features.
  • Practiced leadership by explaining technical concepts to non-technical teammates.
