BIO
I'm a curious and driven technical founder hailing from Toronto, Canada. I love up-leveling others through my work and after graduating from the University of Waterloo, I found my calling in cloud and test infrastructure at companies like Splunk, Google, and Robinhood. Aside from engineering, I love traveling the world (over 100K miles flown in 2023!), playing piano, and hiking.
