I'm a Software Engineering student at McMaster University, currently on my first co-op placement with the Ontario Public Service. I like understanding how things actually work under the hood, whether that's a full-stack web app, a puzzle-solving algorithm, or a piece of hardware built up from a bare microcontroller.

On the OSAP team for the full co-op term, testing both the student-facing and administrator-facing sides of the OSAP application across Full-Time, Part-Time, Microcredential, OLSG, and OLSG-ME program types: manually, and increasingly through a set of Python Playwright scripts I built on my own initiative to speed up repetitive parts of testing, like student profile creation, separate from the team's existing (and much older) UFT/VBScript automation. Log and track defects through HP's ALM, working a build-test-defect-retest loop directly with developers. Along the way I've traced a few defects back to their root cause in older academic-year applications, surfaced through regression testing after the platform's migration to Azure, and rewrote some test case documentation that hadn't been touched in years so the next cohort of co-op students inherits something clearer than I did.

Trusted with direct access to the AS400 inventory management system, where a single mis-entry can misplace stock and disrupt the whole picking operation. Diagnosed a persistent inventory backlog, then designed and independently executed a fix, cutting the required cleanup cycle from weekly to monthly. Regularly sought out by colleagues to troubleshoot workstation, printer, and warehouse-software issues.
