Software engineer building things for the web
I'm a software engineer based in Vancouver, building products for the web. I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a B.Sc. in Computer Science.
Currently, I'm at Delivra working on their Air platform, building features with React and .NET. Previously, I've worked at SAP on internal developer tooling, at Kabam on the Marvel Contest of Champions game, and led development on NuTeach — a gamified learning platform for UBC.
I enjoy working across the stack, from crafting smooth frontend experiences to designing scalable backend systems. I'm particularly interested in how emerging tools and AI-assisted workflows are reshaping software development — I've integrated these into my own practice to ship faster and with higher quality. I believe the engineers who learn to effectively leverage these capabilities will define the next era of software.
Outside of work I play tennis, the drums, cook, and enjoy the Vancouver sun :) (the few days it makes an appearance)
