About Me

Building technology that serves long-term value

I am a Computer Science student at the University of British Columbia pursuing a minor in Data Science, driven by a passion for building technology that serves long-term value. My experience spans industry, government, and nonprofit sectors, where I have honed my ability to design scalable, reliable systems. From building GDPR-compliant microservices to engineering data pipelines with Azure and Spark, I enjoy tackling complex technical challenges. My work in quality assurance, which helped reduce system downtime by 60%, has deeply influenced my perspective on accountability and resilience in real-world systems.

Beyond technical implementation, I am motivated by the potential to create meaningful community impact through technology. This commitment has guided my leadership roles, including my governance work as a FORA Young Director and founding Edutainment, a nonprofit launched during COVID-19 to support students navigating remote education. I believe that the best systems are not just efficient code, but tools that empower people, and I strive to integrate this philosophy into every project I undertake.

Outside of work, I value continuous learning and reflection. Whether I'm practicing meditation or exploring new business ideas to develop my entrepreneurial mindset, I am always looking for innovative ways to create value. I am currently open to connecting on business opportunities and am seeking a software or data engineering role starting in 2026 where I can contribute to impactful, forward-thinking teams.
