A brief look into me, past the resume.
A brief look into me, past the resume.
Hey, I'm Saif! I've always been an engineer at heart, curious about how things work and how they fit together. That curiosity started when I built my first PC at eight years old, and it led me to study Software Engineering at Western University, where I found my favourite kind of work: designing systems that connect and operate as one.
My most recent project, Copository, is an AI-powered tool that converts GitHub repositories into structured documentation. It's been an incredible space to explore how architecture, automation, and cloud workflows come together to form a complete system. Before that, I worked at BMO and Bell Canada, where I saw firsthand how collaboration and architecture drive engineering at enterprise scale.
I enjoy writing about my work, experiences, and connecting with others who are curious about engineering and growth. I'm always open to conversations about software, learning, or anything else, so feel free to reach out!
When I'm not coding, you'll find me playing basketball, at the gym, or cooking (on and off the court ;) ). I also enjoy reading, most recently Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey. Also, I just got back from five weeks of backpacking across Southeast Asia. If you've been thinking about taking that trip, this is your sign to book it!

Infrastructure Solution Consultant Intern, Data & Infrastructure
- Partnered with engineers to design and quote on-prem and cloud infrastructure solutions for internal teams. Automated internal Excel trackers with Python to streamline project tracking and reduce manual work. Solved data access issues by merging multiple Excel trackers into a unified Confluence database using Python and Pandas, improving data accessibility across teams.
Technical Sales Support Intern, Pre-Sales Design, Bell Business Markets
- Supported technical sales teams as a Design Engineering Intern, working closely with enterprise clients to scope and deliver solutions. Designed and quoted over 70 cloud and VoIP integrations, contributing to a $4M+ sales funnel. Developed an Agile-based workflow that improved cross-team collaboration and reduced handoff time. Coordinated with external vendors to validate requirements and resolve design issues early in the process.
Lead Software Engineer
- Led a 7-person student development team to build a React.js and Firebase application that automated data entry and generated government-compliant PDF reports. Engineered full-stack features including OAuth authentication, PostgreSQL storage, a REST API for PDF generation, and a CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions. Worked closely with the client to gather requirements and ensure the final product met their operational needs.
