BSc Computer Science Student at Vancouver Island University | Future Tech Founder
Computer Science student at Vancouver Island University, I care most about user experience, trust, and long-term retention. I enjoy building systems where small design decisions compound over time, especially in social and AI-driven products.
I'm building real products, not just class projects. Right now I'm working on Fusion, a video-first campus social app designed to test real engagement and retention, launching campus-by-campus starting with VIU.
Aspiring tech founder dedicated to building products that help people learn, create, and explore new ideas. Building in public across social platforms.
From startup-idea to launch. Building in public
Coming Soon...
Building products that prioritize user experience, trust, and retention. Testing real engagement metrics, not vanity numbers. Learning what makes people actually come back.
Campus-by-campus rollout starting small. Obsessing over user feedback. Building in public across social platforms. Every decision backed by real data and user behavior.
From CS student to founder. Learning to code, design, market, and ship. Not just building for class but building to solve real problems and create lasting value.
Personal web resume with responsive design, smooth animations, and an AI assistant that guides visitors through my projects and journey. Built from scratch showcasing full-stack capabilities.
Social app where students introduce themselves through short videos. Focused on authentic connections and real engagement metrics, making user first than the algorithm. launching campus-by-campus starting with VIU.
