I am a PhD student at Western University with research interests in the areas of autonomous drones and vehicles, distributed systems, next-generation networks, and machine learning.I have strong research and project-based software development experience in web and desktop application development, machine learning, and autonomous drones. I am passionate about building scalable and principled software and enjoy contributing to open-source projects. My experience from many avenues of software development has formed my well-rounded skill set, which includes excellent communication and project management skills.I founded and am the core maintainer of an open-source project (Zeus Enhanced mod for Arma 3) that has 500,000+ current subscribers. This work has been a key part of my growth as a software developer by allowing me to apply and build upon what I am learning in school. By adopting a no compromises approach for code quality and user experience, I have lead a small team in building software that is the de facto standard in the space.
