Hi, I'm Braden

About

I'm a third-year Computer Science student at the University of Alberta with a Business minor. I care about writing clean, secure code and building things that actually work in production.

Outside of class, I'm co-founding Hexz — an ML infrastructure startup focused on efficient model checkpoint storage. I'm also a marathon runner and avid golfer.

I'm actively looking for co-op roles in cybersecurity and software engineering for May–December 2026.
