Experience
Software Development Engineer, Amazon
Vancouver, BC
- TBD...
Production Engineer, Meta
Bellevue, WA
- Engineered pipelines for advertisement data in C++ and Python to detect off-site conversion signal regression, reducing signal loss by 34% and improving the reliability of metrics for millions of advertisers.
- Built a high-throughput monitoring and alerting system processing billions of rows daily across 12 ad signals, halving SEV response times and enabling faster detection of aggressive SLO burn rates.
- Developed a daily statistical-significance Python pipeline for ad accounts and campaigns, slashing response time to regressions and averting over $100K in ad-spend losses within a week of launch.
- Automated oncall runbooks with asynchronous rule-based analysis, reducing root cause investigation time by 99%.
Software Engineer - Backend, Shopify
Toronto, ON
- Developed a Rails geolocation service and refactored Action View components for the Shopify portal.
- Improved Kafka topic processing and erasure job SQL query generation to support BigQuery table redactions indexed by cookie IDs, increasing PII erasure coverage from 22% to 100%.
- Provisioned GCP Dataplex resources with Terraform and implemented a Rake task in GitHub Actions to synchronize and standardize SQL table metadata and schemas across 250+ applications.
- Built a pipeline failure notifier job in Ruby with GitHub issues and Slackbot integration, cutting SEV-3 incident response times across 78 services and improving observability.
Full Stack Developer, Sparklease
Toronto, ON
- Architected and implemented a C# Redis caching layer for microservices, integrated with an edge CDN and Azure Blob Storage, optimizing API response times from 1.5s to 0.3s for high-traffic services.
- Engineered a payment and subscription gateway using ASP.NET Core MVC and Stripe webhooks, processing $30k/month, as well as an analytics dashboard to boost financial reporting efficiency.
- Spearheaded a 100% codebase migration from .NET Core 2.0 to 6.0, improving performance and package compatibility.
Software Engineer - Infrastructure Security, Royal Bank of Canada
Toronto, ON
- Built and deployed a containerized service update anomaly job for Azure/AWS cloud services with Python using machine learning and web scraping, resulting in over $7000 saved per service reviewed.
- Established CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins on AKS integrated with 10+ control tools; configured Kubernetes clusters for security following internal DevSecOps standards.
- Implemented robust Terraform IaC for Azure AKS clusters, enabling optimized connections to external OpenAI instances and saving developer hours.
Innovation Developer - Developer Tools, Royal Bank of Canada
Toronto, ON
- Collaborated with 2 teams in an Agile environment to develop features for an internal application that allows over 4000 RBC developers to view and contribute to enterprise-level InnerSource projects.
- Facilitated the addition of various UI/UX interfaces through the creation of SCSS data themes and reactive Angular components using NgRx.
- Streamlined the implementation of a backend data pipeline by adding a Elasticsearch engine web crawler as FastAPI service - dynamic threading and a custom router logic flow were used to reduce load times by up to 50x.
Student Researcher, Immerse Education
Cambridge, England
- Compiled and augmented financial transactions data from Kaggle datasets and trained NB, DT, LR, and CNN models in R with the collected data for the classification of financial fraud (CNN model was 24% more accurate than conventional classifiers proposed by other papers).
- Wrote a paper documenting the project under the mentorship of professor Giovanna Maria Dimitri who has a Cambridge computer science PhD.
