About Me
I'm a Computer Science graduate from the University of Victoria with a strong foundation in software engineering and practical experience building production systems.
I've shipped TheSchedulerApp, a SaaS product serving paying customers with AI-powered task planning, Stripe billing, and real-time collaboration. I've also built a distributed microservices trading platform in Go and a Dockerized healthcare triage application.
My strengths lie in backend development (APIs, databases, concurrency), DevOps practices (Docker, load testing), and cloud-first architecture. I'm excited to bring my skills to a team building impactful software.
Full-Stack Development
Built production SaaS with React, TypeScript, and Firebase. Strong in backend APIs, databases, and concurrency.
Cloud & DevOps
Hands-on with Docker, Firebase Cloud Functions, Stripe integrations, and load testing with JMeter.
CS Fundamentals
Solid foundation in algorithms, data structures, distributed systems, and software architecture.
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
