About Me

I’m a Software Engineer based in Toronto with a B.Eng in Computer Engineering from the University of Guelph. I build and operate cloud-native systems with a product mindset—balancing developer velocity, reliability, and cost.

Currently at Afflo, I work across DevOps and product engineering—shipping features, hardening infra, and pushing GitOps/Kubernetes best practices.

I also built FrameMax, an AI-powered iOS fitness app. I designed the architecture, wrote the Swift UI, shipped the Node/Express backend, and manage infra with Pulumi.

Previously at Shore Consulting Group, I improved operational efficiency, helped build a Kubernetes Operator, and delivered IaC migrations.
