About
I am a 4th-year Electrical Engineering student at the University of Ottawa with a passion for bridging the gap between hardware physics and high-performance software. I don't just write code; I design the systems that make it run efficiently.
My expertise spans the entire technology stack:
Software Architecture & DevOps I approach development with a DevOps mindset, focusing on how code builds, deploys, and scales on the metal. I am currently architecting the NTX Runtime, a complex system integration project that expands the capabilities to Next.js. By leveraging WebAssembly, I am building a runtime that allows developers to write type-safe web components in C# and Rust.
This project reflects my deep interest in system internals, Linux environments, and building resilient infrastructure that supports modern web performance.
Embedded Systems & Hardware Engineering My engineering background gives me a unique advantage in low-level optimization. I have practical experience designing PCBs in CadSoft EAGLE, constructing autonomous pathfinding robots, and writing efficient C/C++ firmware for embedded controllers. I am comfortable working with schematics, signal processing, and bare-metal programming.
The Toolkit Languages: Rust, C++, C#, TypeScript, Dart. Engineering: SolidWorks, Circuit Design, Linux Server Administration. Dev: Next.js, Flutter, Native Android, Firebase.
I am seeking opportunities where I can apply this cross-disciplinary mindset, combining electrical engineering principles with modern software architecture to build robust, scalable solutions.
