[ 3d_scan ] About

I'm a developer and researcher working where computer vision meets interactive 3D. By day I build walkable digital-twin environments in Unity — importing massive point clouds, Gaussian splats, and CAD models at runtime and making them fast enough to explore.

My research background spans training AI models to segment and measure industrial point clouds, and using GANs for virtual staining in cancer research imaging. I hold a Master of Data Science & AI from the University of Waterloo.

This site is my corner of the internet: part portfolio, part notebook. The professional bits are below; the more personal thoughts live in my writings.
