Experience

Fall 2019, Software Engineer Intern, Facebook

• Created a system to allow revoking of “verified” status from businesses on Facebook’s platforms to help combat fraudulent accounts
• Worked cross-functionally with designers, content creators, and internal customers to get a full end-to-end user experience launch-ready three weeks ahead of schedule

Summer 2019, Software Engineer Intern, Stripe

• Transitioned Stripe’s PCI-compliant cardholder environment from push-based deployments over SSH to a highly-secure, push-based deployment system

Summer 2018, Software Development Engineer Co-op, A Thinking Ape Entertainment

• Client-side optimization and end-to-end feature development for multiplayer mobile game using Python and C#
• Reduced total memory usage by ~10% (20 MB) and initial asset load time by ~25% (15 seconds)
• Along with two engineers and one game designer, created a new realm-wide competition system

Spring 2017, Software Developer Co-op, Copperleaf Technologies

• Full stack development using using C# and AngularJS for asset analytics software
• Implemented single sign-on system to interoperate with Ping, Okta, Active Directory, and other identity providers
• Consistently resolved tickets and delivered features ahead of schedule

Summer 2016, Undergraduate Research Assistant, UBC Nanostructures Lab

• Wrote a Python program to control and automate a laser during experiments on carbon nanotubes
• It’s been 4 years and they’re still giving the little ol’ installer out to all the new lab members; isn’t that wild?

Projects

• MagnetoDB: A horizontally scalable, fault-tolerant, key-value store developed in Java and modelled on Amazon’s DynamoDB

• Kerbodyne Analytic Orbit System (KAOS): a mission planning system for imaging satellites using Python, Flask, and PostgreSQL, using a novel analytic algorithm to calculate satellite visibility 75% faster than current industry standard brute force algorithms

• Optimal Node Placement for TensorFlow Inference: part-time research project with UBC Distributed Systems lab to improve inference throughput by splitting trained TensorFlow models across multiple devices (sadly, we did not succeed in besting Google’s solution)

• The Magic School Bot!: a multi-tasking, beacon-sensing, line-following, zipline-riding secret agent robot built in five wild, wild weeks. Won 3rd place at the annual EngPhys Robot Contest

• Sunrise Lamp: a smart Arduino-powered lighting system to make waking up at 5AM in a Canadian winter slightly more tolerable
