About Me

I operate at the intersection of the ancient and the digital. As a PhD student at the University of British Columbia, my research decodes forest ecosystems through the lens of computer vision, remote sensing, and IoT. I build algorithms to translate the complexity of the woods into actionable data, blending a naturalist’s intuition with a developer’s precision.
