Software developer and researcher

I’m a Computer Science honours graduate from Carleton University, with a background in software engineering and a curiosity for how intelligent systems work. I build automation, data tools, and AI applications. Right now, I’m especially interested in fintech: explainable fraud detection, financial decision support, and software that makes complex information useful.

Explainable fraud detection & uncertainty

Exploring a hybrid approach to fraud detection that combines rules, anomaly detection, and interpretable machine learning, with uncertainty-aware evaluation.

Research overview

Research focus

How can complementary detection methods help identify suspicious patterns while keeping model decisions and evaluation trade-offs interpretable?

Methods

A rule-based baseline, Isolation Forest, and logistic regression, alongside Bayesian uncertainty, bootstrap analysis, and Monte Carlo methods.

Evaluation & limitations

The evaluation compares detection performance with the rule-only baseline. Results depend on the dataset and sampling assumptions; experimental performance does not establish readiness for deployment in financial systems.

Prototype fidelity & user experience

Read published paper ↗

A comparative study of flight-booking interfaces

Investigating how paper sketches, wireframes, and an HTML/CSS prototype shape task performance, cognitive workload, and users’ mental models.

Research overview

Research focus

How does the fidelity of a flight-booking prototype affect the experience of using it?

Study design

A study with 25 participants comparing three prototype formats: paper sketches, wireframes, and an HTML/CSS interface.

Evaluation

Measures included task completion time, errors, NASA-TLX cognitive workload, and mental-model alignment. The study considers both task performance and participants’ experience of the interface.

Emotional adaptivity in study tools

Read published paper ↗

A mixed-methods evaluation of Eunoia

Comparing self-reported moods, automatic emotion detection, and a standard study timer to understand how emotional adaptivity affects attention, motivation, and user control.

Research overview

Research focus

How do different approaches to emotional adaptivity shape the experience of using a study tool?

Study design

A mixed-methods, within-subjects study with 17 participants, comparing self-report, automatic emotion detection, and standard timer conditions using objective and subjective measures.

Findings

Participants preferred the self-report mode for its sense of autonomy, control, and accuracy. Automatic detection was considered helpful but raised trust concerns, highlighting the importance of agency and transparency in affective interfaces.
