DIALOGUE

Greetings, visitor! Welcome to my interactive portfolio showcasing my journey in technology and research.

My passion lies at the intersection of AI innovation and practical application. With expertise in machine learning models (CNNs, Transformers, GANs) and full-stack development (Python, React, Django), I bridge theoretical concepts with real-world solutions.

Currently researching mobile AI applications at UAlberta while leading computing science student initiatives. My projects range from bias mitigation in facial recognition to developing safety-focused applications that have won hackathon awards.

When not coding, I contribute to Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS), analyze AI research papers, or mentor students as a Teaching Assistant. I believe in using technology to create equitable, impactful solutions that serve diverse communities.
