Software Developer Co-op · IBM
Software developer working at the edge of backend, data, and security.
I'm a computer engineering student at Toronto Metropolitan University and a developer at IBM, where I help build the Guardium AI Intelligence Platform, which governs how enterprises ingest and secure data for AI. The problems I like best sit underneath the interface: pipelines, schemas, and the policies that keep sensitive data in line.
Lately I've also been building Steady, an AI market-intelligence platform for retail investors.
