I build data pipelines and AI features.
I’m TJ Jani. I spent two years building production healthcare data software at metricHEALTH. Now I’m an MSc Computer Science student at Lakehead University, taking part-time and contract work, remote or in the Barrie to Toronto corridor.
What I can do for you
Connect systems and move data
APIs and pipelines between the tools you already use. At metricHEALTH I built the integrations that moved clinical data between healthcare software and client systems, on services that held 99.9% uptime.
Build AI features on documents and text
From a first prototype to a running service. I built a proof of concept that reads handwritten forms into structured records, and a clinical note summarizer packaged as an API with automated deployment.
Make software testable and visible
Automated tests that run on every change, and dashboards people read. My test automation at metricHEALTH cut manual testing effort by 30%.
Selected work
Paid work first, then a personal project, a research study and volunteer work. More research is on its own page.
About me
Until July 2026 I was a software developer at metricHEALTH Solutions in Barrie, Ontario. I built the integrations that move clinical data between systems, the automated tests that kept releases safe, and the dashboards that leadership and operations teams read. The team received the City of Barrie Mayor’s Award for Research and Innovation in 2024.
I left to start an MSc in Computer Science at Lakehead University. Before that I studied physics and mathematics at the University of Mumbai, then completed two postgraduate certificates at Georgian College, in AI and in Big Data Analytics. For almost four years I also worked at Barrie Public Library, where I taught coding, robotics and AI basics to the public. That job taught me to explain technical things plainly.
I’m looking for part-time or contract work alongside the MSc: about 20 hours a week during term and more between terms, remote or in the Barrie to Toronto corridor, starting now. If you have data to move, a manual process to automate, or an AI feature to build, email me or use the form below.
Experience and education
Thesis route, AI specialization. Taking part-time and contract work alongside the program.
Built FHIR data integrations, automated testing and dashboards for healthcare software. Team recipient of the 2024 City of Barrie Mayor's Award for Research and Innovation.
Designed and taught a 24-session youth coding and robotics program (Tech Titans, September 2025 to April 2026) and ran technology workshops for the public.
AI Design and Implementation, then Big Data Analytics. Georgian Scholar and Dean's List in both.
Physics major, mathematics minor.
Recognition
"Tirthesh applies strong analytical thinking to a range of data analytics challenges and communicates findings clearly across teams."
Ruwindhu Hettige Don
Data Research Analyst, Georgian College
Outside work I write a weekly newsletter, An Anxious Nomad Collective, and volunteer as a researcher for the Roots of Reality history podcast.
