About

Who I am

I'm a Computer Engineering graduate from Simon Fraser University (minor in Mathematics) who builds across the whole stack, from backend APIs and cloud-native systems to graphics-heavy web apps and bare-metal hardware. I'm a generalist by choice: the interesting problems live on both ends.

I've shipped a production e-commerce platform doing real revenue, published two Rust crates on crates.io, and built engines in Rust, WebGPU, and Electron. I like work that has to be fast or correct, ideally both.

I'm an architect, too. Alongside the code I design buildings (plans, structure, detailing) and I'm finishing a B.Tech in Civil Engineering. It's the same puzzle as software: hard constraints, and something that has to hold up.
