he/him, they/them

Hi there! 

I’m Ezra, 25-year old Data Scientist/AI Solutions Engineer, currently working at IMC Business Architecture & Scaled Insights. As it’s a small company, my role also encompasses many other fields, including QA, Development, UX Design, and Admin work. While the data projects are my main focus, I often flex into different responsibilities to support my colleagues.

Before this, I’ve worked as a Project Manager, and have done internships as a Developer and as a QA Tester, so I’ve got a solid grasp on the software engineering lifecycle.

I studied Computer Engineering at Queen’s University, in the AI Stream. While managing a full course load, I took on internships, worked part time jobs as a Project Manager, TA, and Barista, and ran clubs and was involved in extra-curriculars.

Commitment to EDII

Outside of work

As a Queer Jewish non-binary person, I’m aware of ways that closed-minded design can limit access, so I strive to make my work as inclusive as possible. I have a long history of volunteering for Queer organizations, like running Queen’s EngiQueers, and working for 3 years at Machane Lev, Canada’s first camp for Queer Jewish kids.

At work

Throughout my data science projects, I’ve always been proudest of the work that prioritizes equitable treatment of all. This includes my work with BiasProof, where I designed software that recommends EDII consultants to companies based on their biases. Recently, I’ve been brought on to architect an AI chatbot that will be distributing PrEP, STI test kits, and contraceptives. I’m very proud that my work will assist in spreading access to healthcare, and reducing the stigma of HIV/AIDS.

Hobbies

    Sewing

    I’ve always loved crafts and getting creative, but I got into sewing lately. I’ve made the pants, tote, belt, and coat pictured here, as well as costumes, a plush, and tailored garments for friends. So much of sewing is visualizing 3D space with 2D materials, and I like the challenge!

    Origami

    I’ve made origami for a long time, and really enjoy making ornamental pieces as decor.

    I love modular origami, where a model is made up of many identical pieces. So my origami is as modular as my coding 😎

    Music

    I’ve been playing ukulele and guitar for years now. Have self-produced an EP and an Album, that I won’t plug here. Recently have been fronting a band, and play at open mics regularly! Besides making my own music, I like to share my favorite music with friends, and make playlists.

  • A photo of a charcuterie board and banana bread.

    Cooking

    Love cooking and baking as well! My go-to recipes are a vegan sheppard’s pie, bibimguksu, banana bread, walnut cake, and squash soup.

    I love sharing food with friends as a way to connect, so I am prone to a weekend picnic
