Biography

In April 2013 I graduated with a degree in civil engineering from the University of Waterloo. Over the course of my training I worked for a total of 24 months split between five organizations. This really gave me a feel for the engineering and construction industry. As I grew in experience I began to notice recurring problems; delays, workflow problems, mistakes in design and construction, the difficulties of quality control, wasted resources and poor communication. Like a good engineer, I want to tackle these issues. Therefore, at Cambridge I will pursue an MPhil in Construction Information Technology. Through it I hope to find novel solutions to these industry problems by implementing concepts such as augmented reality and real-time object recognition. I can envision a much better industry, and I intend to be part of the push to get there.
