AboutMe

I am a Software Engineer based in New York City working for Figma. I've been working full time in the industry since July 2023 but prior to this, studied Computer Science at the University of Toronto with an emphasis on Software Engineering. During my time there, I obtained 1+ year(s) of experience interning across a few software companies in Canada. I’ve also helped build/teach a few courses surrounding low-level concepts in computer science. Currently, I have an interest in distributed systems and cybersecurity but ultimately wish to make an impact within the industry! To learn more about me or keep in touch, keep scrolling!
