A builder’s mindset.
A researcher’s
curiosity.
I’m interested in what happens when we connect disciplines — and give good ideas the engineering they deserve.
I work at the intersection of applied research, data, and software. At Red Deer Polytechnic, I connect IoT sensors, cloud infrastructure, and analysis to help make sense of energy systems. Alongside that work, I build applications and explore how AI can turn complex information into something people can use.
ON MY WORKBENCH NOWWorking on energy innovation at Red Deer Polytechnic, exploring local AI and document intelligence, and building Xun Innovation and INDine.ca.
