Founder & President

Founded Dalhousie's first Machine Learning society, building the organizational structure and leading its growth.

What I Did

I identified a gap in the university's technical community and founded DMLS. My role was not just administrative; I built the council from scratch, hiring executives and defining their roles. I led the society's strategic direction, initiating our mentorship program and research projects where students work directly with faculty. I oversaw the comprehensive development and scaling of the society.

Impact

Under my leadership, the society grew from zero to over 200 members in less than a year. The initiatives I started, like the mentorship program and research collaborations, created new value for students that went beyond standard events. We established a strong presence on campus and online, with 22k monthly impressions reflecting the effectiveness of the strategy I put in place.

What I Learned

I learned how to build an organization from the ground up, including recruiting talent and delegating responsibility. Leading a team of executives taught me how to align people around a shared vision and how to scale operations. I gained experience in strategic planning and executing long-term initiatives like research partnerships.

Key Highlights

• Founded and scaled the university's inaugural Machine Learning society to 200+ members, designing technical curricula for Supervised Learning and MLOps workshops while executing digital growth strategies to capture 22k monthly impressions.
