Experience
CTRL +ALT +DEL Coffee Roasters
At the age of 17, I started planning to launch an online coffee roastery. Within just four months later, on January 4th, 2020,
CTRL + ALT + DEL Coffee Roasters officially went live. I'm involved every step along the way; from sourcing green coffee and roasting them at my home north of Guelph, to delivering fresh batches to local businesses and customers. And yes, it’s all built and managed right here on the very website you’re visiting!
European Innovation Academy
As part of the 2025 European Innovation Academy, my team and I built SmartGarden Coffee, a climate-focused start-up that earned a spot among the Top 10 teams out of 100 international start-ups. Over the course of three weeks, we developed our concept of IoT-powered indoor coffee farms which repurpose abandoned urban spaces to bring coffee production closer to home and reduce the impact of climate change on the global supply.
Our team completed every milestone, from market validation and MVP development to securing early customer traction, before pitching to a panel of investors. Being named a Top 10 team granted us recognition from mentors and investors, plus valuable awards.
SFU CaseIT: Vancouver
While representing Wilfrid Laurier University, I helped secure second place in the 24-hour case by delivering strategic, technology-driven solutions, including an innovative recommendation on using diffusion models to transform video game development for the company 1QBit. This experience showcased my ability to combine technical understanding, analytical thinking, and clear communication under intense time pressure in front of industry judges.
Beyond the results, my participation in CaseIT reflects a strong commitment to growth, teamwork, and strategic decision making. Over six months of preparation, I worked closely with faculty mentors and teammates to refine my skills in case analysis, storytelling with data, and building practical business-technology strategies. These experiences shaped my professional approach: tackling complex problems with a structured, research-driven mindset while collaborating effectively to deliver business solutions.
