Software Engineering student at Western University · London, Ontario
I build software, manage projects, and make photos and films. I'm studying Software Engineering at Western and building Focalis, a desktop photo editor that doesn't need a subscription. This past summer I was a Junior Project Manager at Icon Media Communications, on the drive-thru tech refresh across 1,100+ McDonald's locations in Canada. I've run my own photo and video studio, ADK Media, since 2020.
Focalis: a desktop photo editor and culler, built to replace Lightroom without the subscription.
ShippingOpsBridge: workflow automation for 1,100+ McDonald's drive-through deployments. Cut daily ops overhead by 95%.
RunningADK Media: photo and video studio, 15+ clients across the GTA since 2020.
StudyingSoftware Engineering at Western, Class of 2028. 3.7 GPA, Dean's List.
01 Projects
A desktop app to replace Adobe Lightroom, built around two complaints: the subscription model and slow, clunky culling. It starts with a culling engine for Sony cameras that uses autofocus-point metadata and local sharpness analysis to pick the keepers. Open-core: the engine is public, the full app is private.
A browser-based workflow tool I built during my PM internship to run the national McDonald's drive-thru tech rollout across 1,100+ locations. It cut daily ops overhead by 95%.
Photo gallery for my temple's community, with an automated pipeline that syncs photos from Google Drive into Cloudflare R2 using GitHub Actions. Part of the media and web work I've led there since 2020.
The photo and video studio I started in high school in 2020. 15+ clients across the GTA, from fashion shows and events to content that helps small businesses grow.
Arduino-based system that measures the kinetic energy of hailstones, using laser tripwires for speed and a load cell for mass. Placed 2nd at the Western Engineering Design Competition out of 900+ participants.
02 Experience
Icon Media Communications
PM on the national drive-thru refresh across 1,100+ McDonald's locations in Canada, focused on the data and networking side of the rollout. Coordinated install teams and technicians coast to coast, and built OpsBridge to automate the daily ops work.
iVedha Inc
Built and maintained 4+ web apps in Python, JavaScript and React used by 200+ people, working through features, code reviews and debugging with a team of six, and deployed client work with cloud and CI/CD tools.
Hatch Coding
Led development of Science Studio, a companion app for CrunchLabs' STEM kits, with a 50+ person team. Shipped 25+ kits, each with a design element, a software puzzle and a knowledge test.
Hatch Coding
Designed and built 80+ coding starter kits on Replit, covering every language the platform supported.
ADK Media
Photo and video for 15+ clients across the GTA, working directly with each one on content that grows their audience.
Also: STEAM instructor and later camp supervisor at Markham Public Library (2022 to 2025), and a mridangam teacher at Thamil Isai Kalaamanram since 2024.
03 About
I'm a Software Engineering student at Western University, originally from Markham. I like starting things: a photo and video studio in high school, the website and photo pipeline for my temple's community, and now a photo editor I'd actually want to use.
Before Western I spent six years at University of Toronto Schools, where I played percussion in the senior orchestra and drums in the stage band, was the school photographer, and co-produced Nocturne 2024, the school's music night for alumni and donors.
At Western I've been a Student Ambassador, Director of Marketing for the Pre-Business Students' Network, and part of Western Formula Racing's media team. I'm working towards my CAPM, I've led media and web for my temple since 2020, and I teach mridangam. When I'm not building something, I'm probably behind a camera, behind a drum kit, or making coffee.
