I'm a full-stack software, web and mobile developer, with an eye for design and a passion for clear, concise and scalable code. I first became interested in the startup community in high school, where I designed, coded and launched a Bitcoin cloud-based wallet - storing 100+ bitcoins from users across the world. I've worked across the entire software stack at companies of all sizes - from leading backend development of a cloud-hosted content calendar (used by clients such Facebook and Home Depot), to spearheading development on a webapp used by 100's of retailers across North America, the skills I've learned at these diverse workplaces have proven invaluable. I also love getting involved - I'm currently the VP Executive of the UWaterloo Entrepreneurship Society, and have held several other leadership volunteer positions in the past. I also enjoy attending hackathons regularly. Some of my notable achievements: • Top 13% in all users on Stack Overflow in 2014 • Spearheaded development on a webapp used by 100's of retailers across North America • Won "Best Cryptocurrency Hack" at HackMIT 2014
