- Developed a full data science solution involving data wrangling, transformations, with predictive analysis for monthly donors. Preliminary testing shows 20-30% accuracy rate compared to consultant donors rates of 0.5%.- Full design and development of a pilot project for predictive analysis in Python on the Spyder platform in the Anaconda distribution. This involved data transformation and testing numerous machine learning and deep learning systems with confusion matrices to determine which algorithm produced the best results. The final system consisted of using a mixed model and clustering systems. - Wrote a data implementation plan for descriptive and predictive analytics which is currently being rolled out across the organization.- Developing Microsoft Power BI reports for analysis on monthly donors which involved the linking of numerous databases together to create a dashboard that succinctly described the donors being targeted by a calling campaign. Additionally, project include interviewing the departments leads to determine the

Created, established, and successfully operated the second-highest-rated 3D hub, 3D Hubs the 3D printing portal, in the Greater Toronto Area, earning 4.9 out of 5 stars overall in client reviews. With a strong focus on understanding client needs and providing outstanding service, the business grew tremendously in just a few months.Key accomplishments• The New Beat - Art Gallery of OntarioArt Gallery of Ontario After conducting needs-assessment meetings with AGO representatives, Isometros was awarded a contract to laser-mount an art installation at the gallery in preparation for a cross-Canada tour. • Great GardensConceptualized, designed and constructed a specialized line of garden tools that increase accuracy and efficiency with an emphasis on ease-of-use and durability in outdoor, dirty conditions.• Product Conceptualization and Innovation Designed and prototyped various products ranging from arthritic sports splints to canine braces. These proof of concept projects involved sketches, proof-of-concepts, design and assembly within AutoDesk Inventor, prototyping, then testing. Additionally we would create methodologies and standardization of procedures to streamline all future iterations of products that we created.• Medical 3D PrintingCreated anatomical 3D models from CT and MRI scans for 3D printing and design work. We explored the feasibility of printing 3D models for use in preoperative planning and medical education and engaged with hospitals in the Greater Toronto Area on maturing this idea. Additionally we used this process to experiment the use of medical models to design pet prosthetic to fix aging neurological issues in elderly dogs.

In this self-directed contract project, I interviewed clinicians and hospital staff to assess needs, designed 3D-printing solutions for better healthcare products and practices, and developed business cases for clinical and patient education. Key accomplishments • Created and developed products to enhance preoperative planning and patient mobility, such as 3D-printed braces, arthritic splints, customized medical-imaging braces, medical education and diagnostic tools. Using SolidWorks and numerous other CAD platforms.• Conducted stringent risk assessments and product evaluations to determine the compliance of products to regulations and standards set by Health Canada, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory bodies. • Created a product and scheme selected for further assessment by Trillium Health Partners that eventually came to be used independently by other hospitals. • Developed procedures to reduce model creation time from 6 hours to 20 minutes through the use of surface modeling and GrassHopper. This was to create a standardized system to implement within the current hospital workflow as to not create delays in patient throughput.• Used different creativity and innovation methods to engage front line caregivers and stake holders to fully define the problems they were facing. Through this information I put together different areas and products that we could focus on to define the project. This was done through varied methods of brainstorming, research, observation, filtering, and engagement to create a completed project scope and goals.

While completing my master’s degree, I founded this unique company to design and manufacture solutions for geriatric needs. Key accomplishments • Developed a project management plan and business plan to establish the company and led a team of two engineers and a designer to create customer-driven solutions with innovative product designs. • Delivered successful presentations to investors to obtain seed funding and won numerous awards and competitions. • Applied key mechanical engineering principles to create safe human centered products that met medical regulatory specifications. • Using Solidworks and Autodesk Inventor, for mass manufacturing in plastics and composites, we conceptualized and designed an electronic assistive-wheeled walker to help prevent falls. • Utilized empathetic design principles to uncover key user emotions in relation to existing commercial products. Through interviews, observations, and stakeholder engagement, we create a concrete list of emotional consumer drivers of which we used to design our award winning Rollator.
