03 / About me

I’m a software engineer at Mastercard, based in Vancouver. I enjoy working on low-latency, distributed services: the kind of software where performance and reliability matter.

My experience spans financial services and research, from backend development and service migrations to monitoring and automation.

Outside of tech, you can find me adding to my never-ending reading list, adding 2.5lbs to whichever lift I am doing that day, or finding/cooking a recipe over the weekend.
