Conestoga Entrepreneurship Collective

Technical Support Ambassador

Worked the helpdesk at Conestoga's entrepreneurship hub. A lot of tickets, troubleshooting, and figuring out why something suddenly stopped working.

  • Handled 200+ monthly IT support tickets from intake to resolution.
  • Built notes around repeated issues so fixes were easier the next time.
  • Helped with desktops, laptops, iOS, Android, and general setup problems.

ConHacks 2026

Built Flow during ConHacks in about 24 hours. It started as a rough idea for dyslexic readers and turned into a working app we could actually demo.

  • Built the app in React and TypeScript from scratch.
  • Connected Gemini API, ElevenLabs, and PDF.js into one reading flow.
  • Demoed a working version to judges by the end of the hackathon.
