Hi there, I’m
Building from biology.
PharmD student at the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Toronto — and data scientist building ML pipelines for translational oncology and cardiovascular genomics.
Data scientist working at the intersection of machine learning, biology, and clinical pharmacy. Focus: turning raw biological signal — single-cell transcriptomes, molecular graphs, sequence data — into reproducible, statistically defensible insight, held up under end-to-end pipelines and held-out evaluation.
Clinical
Minor Ailments Assistant · Reg. 256/24
Ontario pharmacist assistant covering the full Reg. 256/24 scope, shipped entirely client-side. UofT PharmD begins Fall 2026 — the clinical arc runs alongside, not in place of, the data-science work.
Machine learning
GraphDTI · Drug–Target
Geometric deep-learning drug–target interaction model, held out on unseen BindingDB pairs.
Machine learning
Meridian · Tissue-of-Origin
Calibrated, interpretable tissue-of-origin classifier with conformal abstention on out-of-distribution samples.
Biology
TAA scRNA-seq · GSE155468
Sex-stratified differential expression in ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm at patient-level hierarchy (n=11).
Faircare & CDE Pharmacy · Kitchener ON
Front-counter and back-of-pharmacy support: helping patients locate over-the-counter products and answering general product questions while referring medication and health-related questions to the pharmacist and safeguarding patient confidentiality. Prescription preparation under pharmacist supervision using Fillware (counting, labelling, and data entry for the pharmacist’s final check). Narcotics and controlled-substance documentation per record-keeping requirements, cytotoxic / hazardous handling with required PPE, compliance (blister) packaging for pharmacist verification, and cold-chain management for insulin and GLP-1 agonists.
Third-party insurance billing, refill authorizations by fax to prescribers, and inventory ordered from Kohl & Frisch (K&F) — receiving-check for accuracy and expiry monitoring.

Lawson Health Research Institute · Western University affiliate · London ON
End-to-end RNA-seq and single-cell ML pipelines (STAR, Salmon, DESeq2, Scanpy) for translational oncology. 1,200+ patient samples through Docker-containerized, Snakemake/Airflow-orchestrated, MLflow-tracked stack on Compute Canada HPC. Random-forest oncology classifier (n=480) AUROC 0.87 / PR-AUC 0.71. LIMS-to-warehouse ETL (STARLIMS → PostgreSQL + dbt) eliminated ~12 hrs/wk of manual extraction. Gene-set enrichment (Fisher's, BH-FDR, GSEA). Internal R/Python workshops.

Pickering Lab · Robarts Research Institute · Western University
Sex/age-dependent protective mechanisms in murine TAA. In situ aortic measurements, histology, RNA isolation, NanoString nCounter transcriptomics. R pipelines (DE, pathway enrichment, multi-group integration). Found altered BCAA catabolism + VSMC remodeling as protective programs.

Geometric deep learning for drug–target interaction prediction. A Graph Isomorphism Network with attentive readout encodes ligands; contrastive pretraining with held-out kinase families. Served behind FastAPI with SHAP-on-graph interpretability.

Calibrated tissue-of-origin classifier for Cancer of Unknown Primary. A LightGBM ensemble trained on 9,358 TCGA primaries across 25 organ classes, wrapped in temperature scaling + split-conformal prediction — so the model abstains on out-of-distribution metastases instead of overconfidently misclassifying them.

Sex-stratified differential expression in human ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm. Pseudobulk DESeq2 with the sex×disease interaction surfaces female-skewed IFN-γ / OXPHOS signatures across SMCs, NK, T, and plasma cells.

Cross-cohort replication of sex differences in TAA. Combines scRNA-seq (Li 2020) and snRNA-seq (Chou 2022) via cross-platform integration + random-effects meta-analysis on cohort-level effect sizes.
