About Me

Science, Technology
& Humanity

I am an engineering graduate from University of Toronto, holding a Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering Science. I design and develop cutting-edge technologies for emerging high-tech markets in Toronto, Canada.

My expertise spans robotics, spacecraft, and aircraft engineering. I currently work as a Satellite Systems Engineering Designer at Kepler Communications, where I help build the internet for space. I also bring industry experience from leading Fortune 500 companies, including Johnson Controls and RTX Corporation.

In my free time, I enjoy mentoring and supporting young professionals as they begin their careers.

Building Advance Satellite

I’ve been involved across the full lifecycle of multiple space missions—from early concept development through operations and end-of-life planning. I’ve had the opportunity to learn directly from leading engineers at MDA and UTIAS, strengthening both my technical and systems-level perspective. My experience spans Earth observation missions, such as FINCH with the University of Toronto Aerospace Team, as well as communications constellations like AETHER at Kepler Communications.
