My TEDxMcGill talk on teaching people comedy. When you think of "funny" as a toolbox instead of a person, amazing things can happen. Selected from 125 applicants.

My personal Substack about entertainment, culture and tech, for ideas too lengthy for an X thread and too esoteric for my roommates.

I worked at Messagepoint as a Technical Customer Success Specialist. I set up systems, drive automation across ChurnZero and Salesforce, and helped the team adapt to an AI-driven future.

Performed around Montreal with the McGill Students’ Comedy Club. I still do the occasional open mic to keep my skills fresh.

Former President of McGill Improv, with lots of experience performing and teaching improvised comedy. Currently a student at Bad Dog Theatre in Toronto.

After many years, I was finally able to volunteer at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2026. Best celebrity sightings: Ed Helms and Lily James. Best part of the festival: Midnight Madness. Movie I'm still waiting to see: Sunburn.

I was editor-in-chief of McGill's only satire magazine. The issues weren't published online, but I guess you could take it at my word that I know Adobe InDesign?

A short sketch I wrote, self-taped and edited, about a guy trying to put himself out there in Dallas, Texas. He’s pretty preoccupied with the history of the city.

I built a working propeller hat for my engineering graduation. A small motor and battery pack spun it as I walked across the stage. As you can see from the photo, it got some laughs.

I wanted to prove that I could name every Vampire Weekend song with less than 10 seconds for each, and then I turned it into a game. Inspired by fruitiger aero designs and the iPod Classic, this site challenges you to memorize every song in an artists' catalogue. Uses the Apple Music API for song listings.

A band-specific Heardle clone built on an open-source template, back when those were a thing. It ran for a few years and even got a mention in Stereogum.

I've started a tradition of making a Charlie-themed calendar for all my friends every year. Every month, a new image of me greets those I hold dear. Nobody liked the AI-generated shirtless photo I put in last June.
