About

Building software that matters

I'm a Computer Science and Statistics graduate from the University of Toronto with hands-on experience building production data pipelines, backend services, and NLP systems. At Quantumera AI, I worked as a Software Development Engineer Intern building AWS-backed data validation pipelines for transportation data. At Royal Bank of Canada, I worked as a Data Engineer on CDC pipelines, transit hierarchy tooling, and incident report classification. At Deutsche Telekom, I built office automation workflows with Spring Boot and Camunda. I've also built full-stack projects including an AI-powered job application platform and personal portfolio.

Experience

Where I've worked

Data engineering and software development roles in banking and telecom.

Quantumera AI

San Francisco, CA

Software Development Engineer Intern

May 2025 – August 2025

Gathered transportation data from datasets and public APIs, processed data using SQS, and managed storage in S3, enabling scalable AI-driven transportation solutions.
Developed a validation pipeline and deployed a backend service on AWS EC2 to validate transportation data and support downstream processing.

Royal Bank of Canada

Toronto, ON

Data Engineer Intern

May 2024 – April 2025

Built a full-stack risk hierarchy management platform using React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL to align transit, office, branch, and legal-entity data across multiple source systems.
Developed Python data pipelines to ingest database and Excel data, normalize inconsistent formats, and transform nested JSON into a recursive hierarchy model for downstream validation.
Implemented validation checks to detect hierarchy mismatches and mutual-exclusivity conflicts, helping business stakeholders identify ownership and legal-entity changes.
Consolidated 2,000+ RBC branch and office records into a searchable source of truth, ensuring risk events were mapped to the correct organizational identifiers.
Designed a Python CDC service that monitors 2,000+ organizational records and cross-validates structural changes against 16,000+ employee records.
Prototyped an NLP pipeline using spaCy to analyze 10,000+ historical risk-event records and automate classification of event type, business line, and root cause.

Deutsche Telekom

Beijing, China

Software Development Engineer Intern

May 2023 – August 2023

Developed an office-automation web application using Spring Boot and Camunda, implementing backend services, CRUD operations, and workflow APIs.
Modeled approval processes as BPMN workflows and built REST APIs for CRUD and workflow actions, using Camunda to manage process state, task assignment, and submit-review-approve transitions.

Projects

Featured work

Full-stack applications spanning AI, job search tooling, and community software.

AI Job Application Platform & Personal Portfolio

May 2026 – Present

Built a full-stack AI-powered job application platform and personal portfolio using Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, and PostgreSQL, with a job tracker, OpenAI-powered job description analysis, tailored cover letter generation, and resume recommendations, deployed on Vercel.

Mini Operating System Kernel

Feb 2026 – Present

Implemented a lightweight x86-64 OS kernel in C on the Unicorn CPU emulator, supporting process management and core system calls. Built a system-call dispatch path that captures syscall instructions, extracts syscall numbers and arguments from CPU registers, dispatches handlers through a syscall table, and restores process context. Implemented per-process 4 KiB address spaces with bounds-checked user/kernel memory access and fork() via full memory and register-context replication.
