Started coding before Google.

Back then, it was all Java—now, it's full-stack JavaScript.

With AI tools, you can build an entire stack in days. As a squash & AI enthusiast, I’m building a squash signup & team management app.

Documenting the journey—let’s see where this goes!

Now that 2025 is here.

To everyone in my network, I hope the year is off to a fantastic start, and I wish you continued success, growth, and happiness in the coming months.

Here’s to making 2025 a year to remember!

It’s moments like these that make the season brighter for everyone involved.

Wishing you all a warm and cheerful holiday season! 🎄✨

The holidays remind us to pause and prioritize what matters most.

This weekend, I joined my close ones for our annual Christmas tree-picking tradition—a moment to recharge, reflect, and reconnect.

Here's to balance! 🎄✨

Your timeline isn't reality.

Think of it as a mirror, not a window.

It's built to reinforce what you already agree with.

The algorithm mirrors your attention.

Here's the important question:

What are you feeding your mirror?

This week, I had the pleasure of attending the Canadian Women's Open 2024 with friends.

A special thanks to @scotiabank for the invitation.

As an avid squash fan and player, I find the energy and excitement at the event unparalleled.

Ever had a great idea but felt too unsure to share it?

Got stage fright? Lack of confidence? Don't let that stop you.

Get out there. Share your idea. Build trust. Then execute.

While at university, I had the privilege of learning from Geoffrey Hinton, the "godfather of AI."

His Nobel Prize fills me with immense pride.

His contributions have shaped our world, and AI's impact will only continue to grow.

Congratulations, Geoffrey!

I encourage everyone to take a moment, breathe in the crisp autumn air, and reflect on your journey.

Do more things that make you forget to check your phone.

On the weekends, I try my best to be present. And that means less screen time.

If you end up missing your phone, you're not doing it right.

Starbucks recently appointed a new CEO.

There's undoubtedly work to be done, but it is an opportunity to rebuild the experience that has always been at the core of Starbucks' appeal.

What do you think of this new leadership change?

When key people leave your organization, their wisdom often goes with them.

I’ve found cross-training effective in maintaining continuity.

I’m interested to hear your thoughts or additional strategies that have worked well for you and your team.
