A quick introduction
I'm a software engineer who likes building things that are simple, fast, and actually useful.
Ive worked across everything from digital archives at UBC to hospitality systems at Kobas, and later large-scale backend services at Bumble focused on recommendations and discovery.
Between shipping quickly in smaller teams and working on systems at scale, I’ve developed a bias toward keeping things simple and practical.
These days I’m mostly interested in backend engineering, AI-assisted workflows, and building smaller tools with a strong focus on usability and performance.
Things I've built
A few projects and experiments I've enjoyed working on.
