Led product and growth strategy for a mobile loyalty platform connecting Gen Z diners with local restaurants through gamified rewards. Built the loyalty and marketing engine: users scanned in-store cards to earn rewards and submitted food photos for prize contests. Designed an AI recommendation tool suggesting menu items from past behavior and trending meals, driving upsells and repeat visits. Pitched and signed 56 restaurants and franchises across the GTA, ready to pilot, and created sales materials and onboarding systems to scale without hands-on effort. Ran in-app contests where restaurants competed for "Picture of the Month" and free ad placement, giving small restaurants a reason to promote the app and turning each partner into a marketing ally. Funding didn't close, but the project validated the concept and showed me how digital systems and automation drive local business adoption, loyalty, and real-time feedback, what I now help other businesses build with custom AI tools.

Co-Founder

Designed and built high-fidelity 3D city models for art-focused printing, developing custom renderings of cities including Toronto, NYC, and Dubai. Focused on technical accuracy, visual clarity, and structural integrity for physical printing.Led the modeling and production process from concept to 3D print-ready design, building each map from raw data and iterating until quality met high-end artistic standards.Built the business from scratch, learning how to position products to a niche audience, write persuasive copy that connected emotionally with collectors and city lovers, and develop a simple but effective web experience.While the project didn’t scale commercially, it taught me how to move fast, ship physical and digital products, and think deeply about how people interact with visuals, design, and messaging. That same thinking now influences how I build intuitive, results-driven AI systems for businesses, where form and function both matter.

Coached and mentored athletes aged 4 to 30+, developing technical skills alongside discipline, confidence, and long-term growth mindsets. Certified through TPA and Tennis Canada with formal accreditation to lead recreational and competitive players. Led group and one-on-one sessions built on experimentation, guided correction, and player-led learning, a philosophy grounded in listening before teaching: giving space, offering feedback, and letting athletes test and learn through real-time decisions. Trained and supported a competitive under-16 team that won nearly 20 provincial-level tournaments in one season. This experience shapes how I approach clients and business systems today: not forcing templates, but studying how people naturally operate, listening first, then layering in solutions that fit. Whether coaching athletes or building custom AI tools, success comes from meeting people where they are and helping them win with clarity and ownership.
