As the Founder of PhysioMotion AI and a student pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Statistics with a minor in Physics at McMaster University, my work operates at the cutting edge of computer vision, mathematical modelling, and physical rehabilitation. My academic framework is uniquely complemented by foundational commerce coursework previously completed at the DeGroote School of Business, equipping me with a dual perspective on advanced quantitative analysis and strategic enterprise scaling.

My startup’s core technology is driven by insights from my independent research, “OccluPose.” Developed entirely autonomously, this framework leverages real-time human pose estimation to transform standard camera feeds into lab-grade clinical movement diagnostics. By applying rigorous models, the technology aims to accurately quantify complex biomechanics. My broader statistical research also continues to evolve, including ongoing work involving Physics-Informed Gaussian Processes for biomechanical analysis.

Building on a rigorous technical foundation with software engineering and data science experience at ThinkNeuro, LLC, alongside financial consulting experience at Secretariat Advisors, I am deeply immersed in the innovation ecosystem. I actively engage at Google startup events, YC x NEXT panels, and the CVIS conference at Waterloo. My technical versatility is continually refined through competitive environments; I recently secured a Top 5 placement at HardHaQ, Canada’s first quantum hardware hackathon, and engineered software for an autonomous robot at the UTRAHacks Winter Biathlon.

Recently, I presented my research at CUCAI 2026, the largest undergraduate AI conference in Canada. Supported by professional affiliations as an associate member of the Statistical Society of Canada, a student member of the Space Generation Advisory Council, and a member of IEEE, my focus remains on bridging the gap between deep technology and practical application. I am actively seeking seasoned mentors and forward-thinking clinical partners to help translate complex AI research into scalable, accessible healthcare solutions.
