Background

About Me

I'm a physiotherapist based in Toronto, specializing in orthopedic rehabilitation, acute care, and geriatric medicine. My clinical work spans hospital-based care across surgical and medical units, as well as community-based home care for WSIB, MVA, and post-surgical patients. I focus on helping patients regain independence through evidence-based interventions and patient-centered care.

Beyond the clinic, I have a strong interest in programming and building tools that improve healthcare workflows. I believe many of the repetitive, time-consuming tasks in healthcare can be streamlined through thoughtful automation, freeing clinicians to focus on what matters most—patient care.

My projects typically emerge from real problems I encounter in practice: scheduling inefficiencies, scattered data, or opportunities to better visualize patient progress. I enjoy the process of identifying a pain point, understanding the underlying systems, and building practical solutions that actually get used.

Outside of Work

When I'm not in the clinic or coding, you'll find me exploring Toronto's neighborhoods on foot, experimenting with new recipes, or diving into a good book. I believe in maintaining balance and staying curious about the world beyond healthcare and technology.
