About

Engineering student who likes hard problems and dislikes manual work.

$10M+Errors prevented
98.5%STP rate achieved
500+Issues resolved

I'm a Computer Engineering student at the University of Waterloo, graduating in 2026. I've worked at a hedge fund in New York, a SaaS startup in San Francisco, and on the trade floor at RBC. They each taught me something the classroom couldn't.

I care about systems that are fast, reliable, and automated. Whether that's a Python/Airflow pipeline processing $50M+ in class-action claims, or a Jenkins CI/CD overhaul that cut deployment failures by 40%.

Outside of work I'm into cybersecurity CTFs, building side projects, and trying to understand how financial systems work under the hood.
