About Me




Hi! I'm a software developer residing in Richmond, BC that specializes in backend development.


Currently I'm working at Semios and previously interned at IBM. I graduated from UBC in 2018 with a degree in Mathematics and in 2022 with a degree in Computer Science in the BCS program. When I'm not coding, you can find me at a boxing gym or at a local restaurant eating away. I would love to chat with you if anything I mentioned caught your attention. Feel free to send me a message or connect with me on LinkedIn!
