Builder of thingamajigs, eater of food. 2A Software Engineering student at the University of Waterloo, graduating in 2029.

Currently, I am working as a Production Engineer, Intern at Shopify, on the Cloud Systems team, where I am primarily focused on improving the reliability and scalability of Shopify's cloud infrastructure. Some projects I'm working on include a custom Kubernetes controller to automate collecting sysdig captures in Go, migrating clusters that power the Shopify platform to Zonal DNS to mitigate the impact of zonal failures, and building out new deployments of various tools such as Temporal. I previously worked on the Shopify Core > Deliver > Inventory team, where I helped deliver a new inventory transfer experience for millions of merchants worldwide, from one-person shops to enterprise customers.

In my spare time, I lead the Waterloo Rocketry Software Subsystem, working to deliver mission critical software used to propel Canadian aerospace forward.
