About
I have extensive experience across the pet industry, from breeding and grooming to DNA analysis and advanced genetics. Combining my hands-on industry experience with my Computer Science background from the University of British Columbia, I develop innovative technology solutions that improve the health, well-being, and quality of life of pets and the people who care for them.
