I'm a builder

I study Computer Science at the University of Carleton I was a previous intern at SurveyMonkey

Some cool things I’ve done/doing

  • Revived cuHacking (with the help of a very talented team) as Head of Software Development to over 1000 applications and 450 attendees
  • Built and managed apps for non-profits at Carleton Blueprint
  • Contributed to Grafana Labs OSS, building new features, fixing bugs, and writing docs
  • Architected a thread-safe browser event handling system for Grafana Labs
  • Played badmiton competitively at a provincial level.

I’m interested in high-performance systems, functional programming, and perfect user experiences
