Edmonton, Alberta · Graduating April 2027

I build embedded hardware and keep live-event networks running.

Psychology major and Computing Science minor at the University of Alberta. I spent the summer on the timing and network crew at Foote Field, and my evenings on an ESP32 scoreboard and a home server I cabled myself. Looking for work in controls, building automation and IIoT software.

Projects

2026 · ESP32, C++, Bluetooth Low Energy, Fusion 360, CadQuery

ESP32 LED scoreboard

A battery-powered table tennis scoreboard. An ESP32 drives P10 LED matrix panels and takes score input over Bluetooth Low Energy from custom button controls.

Designed the power system around a LiPo cell with TP4056 charging, and wired the ESP32 to the panel's HUB12 interface.
Modeled the enclosure, panel rails and stand as parametric Fusion 360 Python scripts, and the button case in CadQuery, so a dimension change regenerates the part.
3D printed all parts.

Ongoing · Linux, Proxmox, Raspberry Pi, Tailscale

Self-hosted home server

A home server and network built from the ground up on mini PCs and Raspberry Pis, in a small rack with a managed switch and patch panel.

Administer Linux and Proxmox hosts on static IPs.
Remote access over Tailscale, plus subnetting, gateway and DNS configuration.
Hand-run Cat5 cabling between the rack and the rest of the house.

Experience

Timing and Network Crew

University of Alberta Golden Bears and Pandas Track and Field · June 2026 to present, seasonal

5th Annual Edmonton Athletics Invitational ↗ July 12, 2026 · Foote Field · billed as Canada's top-ranked track and field meet, with Olympic and world medallists on the start lists

FinishLynx
FieldLynx
NetExchange
NovaStar LED
Managed switches
Fiber media converters
Mesh Wi-Fi
Network isolation

Set up and supported the meet LAN at Foote Field for the timing, results and display systems.
Kept the FinishLynx photo-finish cameras on their own isolated network, away from general traffic.
Documented the meet tech setup so every event can be run the same way.

The meet setup and network map more

Timing: FinishLynx photo-finish cameras and the timing PC, kept on their own isolated network.
Field events: FieldLynx on tablets and Windows 11 mini PCs, connected over the venue Wi-Fi.
Results: the NetExchange results hub, feeding the LED scoreboard and live online results.
Display: the NovaStar LED scoreboard chain, from controller to panels.
Network: managed switches, fiber media converters, mesh Wi-Fi and long cable runs across Foote Field.

Simplified meet network: isolated photo-finish cameras and timing PC, field event stations on venue Wi-Fi, venue switching, results hub feeding the LED scoreboard, router feeding live online results — Simplified meet network

Education

BA Psychology, Minor in Computing Science

University of Alberta · Expected April 2027

Relevant coursework: CMPUT 174 and 175 (programming), CMPUT 201 (C programming), CMPUT 229 (computer architecture, RISC-V), CMPUT 301 (software engineering, in progress).

Psychology and computing together is the point. I can work out why a results service went quiet, and I can also explain it to the person whose screen just went blank.
