Hello 👋

I am currently a software engineer at Pave on the Developer Platform team. Before that, I was at Amazon Web Services for a year and a half, working on network-attached storage for EC2 Outposts.

I graduated from Simon Fraser University with a research master's in statistics, and from UQÀM with a bachelor's in mathematics and statistics. During that time, I was a data engineer intern at Okta and Guiker, a software engineer intern at Amazon Web Services, and a contributor to the Julia ecosystem via Google Summer of Code.

I usually enjoy and hold roles that touch cloud infra, networking, platform, and site reliability.

You can find me on LinkedIn and GitHub.
