What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful projects and continue to grow my technical skills.

I am a dedicated software engineer with a strong background in full-stack development and cloud solutions. My journey began at the University of Calgary, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a concentration in Information Security. Since then, I have honed my skills at various companies, including Ada Support Inc., AWS, and HomeX, where I have successfully implemented innovative software solutions and improved system architectures.

At Ada Support Inc., I led the development of a low-latency microservice solution that significantly enhanced our integration capabilities. My experience at AWS allowed me to streamline deployment pipelines and reduce operational costs, while my time at HomeX saw me develop cloud-based applications that boosted performance by 50%. I thrive in collaborative environments and am passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex problems.
