Club

AIBA — AI Business Automation Club at the University of Guelph

A student-led community where we ship automations, learn by doing, and connect builders with operators. I host weekly lectures on AI and automation, and we run hands-on events that bring together product, engineering, and business.

What we do

  • Weekly lectures on AI and automation hosted by me
  • Vibe Coding sessions — build in public, pair, and ship
  • Industry partner collabs and tutorials
  • Case comps, mini-hackathons, and rapid prototyping
  • Peer mentorship and project pods
