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 as its first AI Enablement co-op.

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 with custom structured-data extraction, a JSON-LD/schema strategy, and a Python tracker measuring brand citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini.
  • Built a Python pipeline to analyze years of historical booking and messaging data, pinpointing where the booking funnel was losing customers and reframing a perceived service problem as a decision-friction problem; presented the findings to a mixed technical and non-technical audience.
  • Automated weekly analysis of the AI support chatbot's knowledge base and redesigned its conversation flows, increasing response accuracy by 95% and reducing trivial messages to the team by 99%.
  • Evaluated applicant-tracking systems for the recruitment team and delivered an in-house platform to replace the third-party tool, saving ~$10k in yearly operating costs.
  • Authored standard operating procedures for every workstream so each keeps running after the term, plus a canonical company design-system reference for faster, higher-quality prototyping.
