Projects
CAR T-Cell Therapy Target Discovery with Machine Learning
Developed an algorithm that ranks CAR T-cell therapy targets on the basis of predicted efficacy for autoimmune diseases using single cell RNA sequence data. I learned machine learning from scratch that summer after recieving an NSERC fund to do research on the topic, and was able to finish it by the end of the term and even present it in the live stream of Scleroderma Canada in world scleroderma day of 2024!
RhythmGuard: Detecting Arrhythmia with TinyML
A Proof of Concept Capstone project consisting of a machine learning model on an ESP32 that detects and classifies arrhythmia instances from ECG and PPG signals.
Ask Those Who Tried: A Guide to Choosing Your University Major
Upon being overwhelmed by possible career paths, I conducted a qualitative research project in which I interviewed over 100 individuals about their chosen field of study, their satisfaction levels, and the reasons behind their satisfaction levels. Due to the project's success and the great insight obtained, I compiled and published the results into a book which ended up being sold in my high school.
Friendship Bracelet Solver
Created a recursive constraint satisfaction problem style (CSP) algorithm that determines the knot combination needed, as well as the initial order of threads, to obtain a user-provided friendship bracelet pattern.
Gait Assessor
In my third-year design course, we (a group of 4) created a gait assessor device for cerebral palsy patients using a simple ESP32 microcontroller and a BNO055 orientation sensor. We used MATLAB for signal processing and for creating the UI. At the end, we successfully saw clear patterns between normal gait and abnormal gait!
Automated Web Test Cases
Facilitated routine testing for a student information system platform by creating 28 automated test cases with Java and Selenium and found over 20 bugs, some of which were high priority.
Paper Speaker Device
In this second year circuits project, I created a functional speaker using nothing but paper, tape, magnets, and a Dollar Store wire.
Discord Anti-Bullying Bot
When 3 or more users react to a message with a potato emoji, these are considered votes that the message is bullying, which makes the bot send a comeback picked randomly from a txt file with comeback lines. Anyone can add to the combacks list and the name of each contributor is stored for security purposes. Because the bot had more evil audience, I added some bullying features, such as meme making (my favorite, create a meme in a second), joining a voice chat for pranking with a game voiceline, and some useful features like automatically sending the contents of a reddit post when a link is shared and the feature of inverting the colors of an image.
Student Number Iterator
In this second year circuits project, I displayed each digit in my student number on a 7-segment display using nothing but sequential logic.
Online Portfolio
You are here! Used Javascript and CSS for the first time to create my very own portfolio.
Weather Fetcher
Python code that uses web scraping to get today's weather from The Weather Network website and display it on an LCD screen. It was run on my Raspberry Pi for a year.
Experience and Education
JUL 2025
Biomedtrix Innovations Inc.
Software Developer
Worked on Palm Free, a therapeutic game improving dexterity in stroke rehabilitation patients for a clinical trial. Implemented persistent game data storage and retrieval systems using Unity’s PlayerPrefs framework, as well as designed and refined user interface elements. Authored and maintained structured technical documentation (MIS-style) and adhered to research ethics protocol while implementing founder-requested features.
JUN 2025
McMaster University
Graduated Mechatronics Engineering and Biomedical Engineering
Finished a 5 year B.Eng.BME program at McMaster University in which I studied all concepts of pure mechatronics engineering while taking biomedical engineering and health sciences courses. I participated in multiple clubs and activities, and mentored in SRHacks, DeltaHacks, and volunteered in McMaster Design League and Ontario Engineering Competition.
JAN 2025
McMaster University
Programming for Mechatronics Teaching Assistant
Delivered weekly tutorials on data structures and algorithms, helped improve and mark assignments, as well as helped students understand, troubleshoot, and debug.
MAY 2024
W Booth School of Engineering Practice and Technology, McMaster University
Research Assistant
I worked in McMaster's W Booth School of Engineering Practice and Technology and developed an algorithm that ranks CAR T-cell therapy targets on the basis of predicted efficacy for autoimmune diseases using single cell RNA sequence data. As soon as I started, I started learning machine learning from scratch, and was able to produce an algorithm at the end that Scleroderma Canada invited me to give a short presentation on for World Scleroderma Day.
SEP 2023
Self-Employed
Math and Physics Tutor
Tutored students between grades 6 and 12. Offered 125 tutoring sessions in the 2023-2024 school year. Some students came back for the 2024-2025 school year, and multiple students came through referrals.
JUL 2023
Muslim Association of Canada
Web Developer and Tester
Working in Muslim Association of Canada's web development team, I facilitated routine testing for a student information system platform by creating 28 automated test cases with Java and Selenium and found over 20 bugs, some of which were high priority. I also wrote a 20 page comprehensive user documentation with SharePoint for future platform users, testers, and developers, also including an Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD).
