Building the developer platform, database tooling, and product apps used across the company.
Built a zero-config developer platform and Deno CLI used by 500+ engineers. It automates scaffolding, dependency updates, and provisioning, cut setup time by 90%, and halved onboarding time.
Designed a managed database layer for Prisma with secure credential vaults and multi-tenant PostgreSQL. Connection errors dropped 95% and production migrations got 10x faster.
Led an AI-powered survey and analytics platform (Nuxt 3, OpenAI) that tripled completion rates and became the default for every product team.
Co-architected a Vue 3 design system with 30+ accessible components, and rebuilt Keycloak user management with fine-grained permissions for 10,000+ users.

Backend infrastructure for large-scale data jobs, plus a company-wide Vue 3 migration.
Built bulk data processing infrastructure (NestJS, GraphQL, Redis, Elasticsearch) with job orchestration, self-healing service registry flows, and real-time job analytics. Ran at 99.999% uptime and cut incidents by 80%.
Migrated 5+ mission-critical apps from Vue 2 to Vue 3 and overhauled the design system with Storybook docs, cutting bundle size by 20%.
Ran the labs, assignments, and grading pipeline for CMPUT 201 and 301.
Designed 15+ assignments across C, Java, Bash, SQL, Android, and Git for 4,000+ students, with specs, rubrics, starter code, and autograders.
Built Python and shell grading and plagiarism pipelines that handle 1,000+ submissions per assignment, cutting turnaround from 5 days to under 24 hours.
Led a team of 20+ TAs with weekly syncs, onboarding docs, and rubric calibration sessions.
Data pipelines and dashboards for a university admissions consultancy.
Built a Python and Selenium scraping pipeline that ingested 25K+ records from 2,500+ sources into PostgreSQL, replacing 800+ hours a year of manual research.
Shipped Pandas and Plotly dashboards used by 20+ counselors, halving the time to match students with programs.

Gazprea Compiler + Gazlab
Team of 4 · CMPUT 415
A full compiler for Gazprea, a functional, immutable-by-default language, plus a browser playground to compile and run it live.
ANTLR4 → typed AST → MLIR → LLVM IR, with 8+ analysis passes and 2,000+ tests.
Personal finance dashboard that imports statements from five Canadian banks, learns how you categorize spending, and has an AI agent that answers questions about your own transactions.
Real-time multiplayer poker. A Rust server runs each table as a WebSocket state machine for 2-5 players plus spectators, with a chip ledger in PostgreSQL, a Vue client, and a Deno CLI.
Reads and injects the MP4/MOV metadata that 360°, VR180, and spatial-audio video needs, through a CLI, desktop app, Docker web UI, and in-browser tool. Built on Google's spatial-media.
Compiler for a vector calculator language with ranges, generators, filters, and scoped variables, lowered through MLIR to LLVM IR.

Sorting Network Compiler
2022 · Solo · CMPUT 175
Metaprogram that emits another Python program: bubble and bitonic sorts compiled into fixed comparator networks with no runtime branches.
Python
Algorithms Arena
2023 · Solo · CMPUT 303
Fifty-plus judged solvers: graphs, strings, geometry, hashing, and the open pool. Each one is a standalone engine that had to pass hidden Kattis cases.

LC Grind
2023 · Solo
Interview-style Python solvers: arrays, anagrams, matrix rotation, and company online-assessment prompts, filed by difficulty.
Python
SQLite Index Benchmark
2023 · Team of 3 · CMPUT 291
Three live SQLite databases under competing index plans, timed query workloads, and plots that show which B-tree actually paid for itself. 98/100 with Ryan and Ashwin.

About
Most systems have one annoying part that everyone quietly learns to live with. That's usually the part I want to fix.
At People Inc. I build the developer platform 500+ engineers use every day, plus the database tooling and product apps on top of it. Through university I also spent three years as a lead TA for UAlberta's software engineering courses, writing assignments and autograders for 4,000+ students.
Off the clock I write compilers, build campus tools, and enter hackathons.
