What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth.

I'm a dedicated software engineer with a strong background in developing client-facing web applications and APIs. Currently, I work at Track WW Media in Toronto, where I have contributed to projects that handle millions of daily ad events, generating significant revenue. My passion for automation led me to initiate the development of an internal domain management application, which improved operational efficiency by 80% through streamlined processes.

In my previous role as a trainee at Société Générale in Hong Kong, I built interactive data dashboards that enabled data-driven decision-making for management. My technical skills span across various programming languages and frameworks, including Python, TypeScript, and Django. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy mentoring others, as demonstrated by my successful guidance of a summer intern who secured a full-time position.
