AI & Software Engineer · University of Waterloo

I build
reliable AI &
scalable software

I’ve completed 5 internships and co-founded 3 production-scale AI systems used by thousands of users. My focus is full-stack development, applied machine learning, and low-latency infrastructure.

What I Focus On

Designing production-grade AI and software: real-time voice systems, large-scale transcription, reliable APIs, and data platforms.

Applied ML

Evaluation-driven pipelines, model routing, retrieval, and inference optimization for accuracy and latency.

Backend & Systems

FastAPI/Spring services, Postgres, WebSockets, job queues, and observability to meet SLOs under load.

Product Engineering

Iterating with users to ship features that matter—measured by reduced ops load, faster workflows, and adoption.
