moved to sf and am working on simulations

i'm currently on a year of absence from the math + cs / bba double-degree program at the university of waterloo and wilfrid laurier, and i was previously a data scientist at RBC.

on the side i build small, useful things: mostly data tools, scrapers, and web apps. most of them start as "i wish this existed" and end up on the internet a few weekends later.

i love being anti doomerism, i think the best things to exist haven't been made yet and i want to change that, a lot to look forward to.

pythonscrapingcodex-apiself-healing

unofficial vlr.gg API for live + historical valorant stats: ratings, clutch %, first kills, team rankings, match data, all filterable by tournament/region. self-heals when vlr.gg breaks: catches the error, asks codex to find the new selectors, and re-points the scraper.

- ▸engineered a custom decision tree classifier using scikit-learn + streamlit; built a novel feature-exhaustion algorithm for distinct customer profiling, visualized via a secure interactive dashboard.
- ▸conducted deep-dive analysis on tfsa and rrsp campaigns using complex sql (multi-table joins across dimension and fact tables) and ml models to evaluate channel efficacy (email vs. banner) and optimize experimentation.
- ▸synthesized enterprise data into scalable, executive-ready insights on customer lifecycle (earn/burn points, renewals): bridged raw data to high-level loyalty strategy.
- ▸deployed and managed containerized data pipelines on kubernetes (k8s), leveraging aws s3 for scalable data storage and retrieval across multiple production environments.
- ▸built python-based infrastructure tooling to automate etl orchestration, monitor pipeline health, and streamline ci/cd workflows for model deployment on aws.
