Hello there 👋

Software engineer building thoughtful, well-designed systems. Currently pursuing my B.Sc. in Computer Science at UBC.

About Me

I’m a software engineer currently pursuing my B.Sc. in Computer Science at the University of British Columbia (expected May 2026). I enjoy building tools that solve real problems, and I approach each project as an opportunity to improve how I write, structure, and reason about code.

As an incoming new graduate, I’m continuing to explore different areas of software engineering — from application development to cloud infrastructure and distributed systems. I’m especially interested in how large-scale systems are designed and operated in production, and how design tradeoffs shape reliability and performance.

When I'm not working on a project, you'll find me exploring my passion for photography, reading, or experimenting with new technologies.

Technologies I work with

TypeScript

React

Node.js

Python

Java

Postgres

aws

Git

More coming soon...
