Product-minded CS student. Photographer. 25 countries and counting.

Career

I'm a Computer Science student at UBC (Class of 2027) drawn to the seam between product and people — especially where AI is changing how teams actually work. This summer I'm building Flytographer's AI enablement program, five years after I started there doing summer data entry at sixteen.

Away from a keyboard I'm usually holding a Fujifilm X-T3 or planning the next trip. Everything on this page — the photographs, the app, the map — is the same project: paying attention to places.

Owning AI workstreams end-to-end at a travel photography marketplace serving 350+ cities.

  • Built the answer-engine optimization (AEO) program from scratch: technical site audits, structured-data strategy, and a tracker measuring brand citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini.
  • Automated weekly analysis of the AI support chatbot's knowledge base, surfacing and prioritizing 15+ content gaps.
  • Wrote the standard operating procedures so every workstream keeps running after the term ends.
