About Me

Hello! I'm a Toronto-based software engineer with a passion for problem-solving and a track record of building functional, secure, and scalable applications. I've contributed to a range of projects, from a super insurance agent app with over 2 million users worldwide to fast-moving startup environments where I wore many hats and shipped quickly. I also embrace AI-assisted development workflows, using tools like Claude Code to move faster while keeping full ownership of architecture and code quality.

In addition to my coding expertise, I'm a team player who enjoys collaborating to overcome challenges. When I'm not coding, you'll find me on the basketball court, training karate, out kayaking, behind the wheel, or experimenting in the kitchen.
