Shipping reliable software from browser interfaces to satellite firmware.

Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo · Previously Deephaven and BitGo

Now

Building across firmware, data, backend, and simulation.

I build reliable systems across firmware, backend infrastructure, real-time data, and simulation.

Most recently, I shipped cross-stack product infrastructure at Deephaven and security-critical transaction safeguards at BitGo. I currently develop flight software and ground-station tooling with UW Orbital.

I gravitate toward difficult technical work where correctness and performance matter, from embedded software and C++ libraries to data tools and physics simulations.

Things I Build

Beyond Code

Endurance, games, and simulations.

I run, ride, climb, ski, and play competitive ultimate. Outside of work, I keep coming back to vehicle physics, suspension systems, animation, boids, fluid dynamics, and small systems experiments.
