I’m an Embedded Software Engineer and a Master’s Student at the University of Waterloo. On my free time, I’m an open-source contributor. My research area is broadly in embedded systems and real-time systems, with an emphasis on Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS), embedded Linux, the Linux kernel, and safety-critical systems.
I love building robust, efficient software and am always exploring innovative solutions for complex technical challenges. Here, you’ll find insights into my personal projects, contributions to open-source, and technical blog posts where I dive deep into topics like embedded systems, satellite tech, and more. Whether you’re here as a fellow enthusiast, potential client, or recruiter, I hope my work sparks some inspiration!
Outside of work I like watching sports (Go Bills!), running, snowboarding, and reading books.
