Me and my friend at North Glenmore Park, Summer 2023

I am currently an incoming Software Engineer Intern at Amazon and a web developer team lead with the UofT Computer Science Student Union. Before that, I worked on systems security and machine learning research at the University of Toronto.

My current interests are mostly about making things faster. I want to learn more about databases, optimization, parallelization, and infrastructure. I'm currently learning C++ and CUDA.

My Current Goals (as of March 2026)

  • Reach Specialist on Codeforces (reached pupil after 6 years)
  • Write more
  • Bench 225
