Founding Engineer at Strello Health
About Me
I'm currently working at Strello Health as a Founding Engineer, and I received a degree in Computer Science at the University of Toronto.
I'm currently learning about:
- Rust
- Neovim (I use LazyVim)
- Linux (I use NixOS and Fedora KDE)
- Front end technologies such as SvelteKit (Which this site is built in!), Vue.js, and Tailwind CSS
Outside of work, I enjoy playing Chess, rock climbing (sometimes!), biking, board games, badminton, basketball, and going to the gym.

I worked with a team of 7 software engineers in a Kanban DevOps environment to build and maintain a data platform handling 100 million+ of users.
I first started working on a monolithic Java codebase for the first 3 months, which was deployed using a Jenkins pipeline. For the rest of my co-op, I started to work on a microservice-oriented data platform with a Python codebase using Trino SQL and Apache Airflow, which was deployed using AWS, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
