Heavy Oil South Development Initiative
Advised on $4.87MM in Heavy Oil South development capital at CNRL. Worked with geologists on reservoir analysis to map potential, and with production engineers on wellsite assessments to estimate capital required. Used historical and analog well production to build production forecasts, then layered in DCF modeling to advance the recompletion and reactivation opportunities worth pursuing.

SMB Invoice Automation
Brought on by Superior Roofing Limited to relieve a manual-accounting bottleneck created by rapid growth. Over 3.5 months, diagnosed the workflow with their accounting team, designed an automation plan, built and tested pipelines in KNIME, Python, and AWS Textract, refined based on their feedback, and trained staff on the final system. Currently expanding the work at Superior, with two more companies in early conversations.

E-commerce
Two direct-to-consumer e-commerce ventures since 2024. One closed, one running. The first was a luxury watch-display case business launched in May 2024. Demand was mediocre, and supplier packaging failures damaged units in transit and sank reviews. Closed it once it stopped clearing payout. The second is a passive plant-irrigation mat for dry-heat US markets. Paid a premium for warehousing in California and Arizona to position inventory closer to demand. 5 months in market, 550+ units sold, $11K USD revenue at a 43% net margin. Currently working with suppliers on porous-structure and material refinements to improve flowrate and durability.

Queen's Aerospace Design Team (QADT)
UAS Competition Aircraft — Aerodynamic Optimization
Collaborated with a team of four on the design and optimization of QADT's 2024 competition aircraft. Iterated fuselage geometry in OpenVSP, fed parameters into QAPOT (an in-house Python optimizer) to generate airfoil dimensions, then refined drag coefficients in a feedback loop. Final models moved to SolidWorks for BOM management. Placed 3rd at the 2024 AEAC national competition. In 2025, implemented a blended-wing configuration that improved stability and doubled power storage capacity.
