Hello! I am a University of Waterloo student majoring in Systems Design Engineering. Systems Design engineering is an interdisciplinary engineering program that teaches students software, hardware, and mechanical design skills in order to prepare them to solve complex, multi-tiered problems using a user centered design methodology
Through Waterloo I have had the opportunity to intern at a variety of different companies. Each intern experience was unique, and I learned so much during each and every one. When I am not at school studying or at work working, I like to play sports, watch sports, read, exercise, set and accomplish goals, and play with my Kendama!
For the first four months of 2019 I was blessed with the opportunity to move to Mountain View California and work as a Full Stack Developer for Zanbato Inc. Zanbato builds ZX, a crossing network for institutionally-sized blocks of private securities. Basically, it is a NASDAQ for private equity. I worked on their core product, using a development stack of Django, DRF, React, Redux, and Lodash.
Close ProjectDuring the summer of 2018 I worked for EllisDon: Canada's leading construction and building services company. While at EllisDon I played a key role in developing their data infrastructure. I developed a data pipeline that pulled data from several key endpoints and landed this data in a cloud based data warehouse. While working at EllisDon I gained experience working with Python, Amazon Web Services, and MySQL.
Close ProjectMy first internship was at Dematic Limited, where I worked for eight months in 2017. Dematic is a large engineering firm that supplies integrated automated supply chain technology, software, and services. I worked there as a Controls Engineer, which entailed designing electrical schematics, writing PLC programs, and making onsite visits to manage interdisciplinary teams of engineers, millwrights, and electricians.
Close ProjectSince 2016 I have been studying Systems Design Engineering at the Univeristy of Waterloo. Waterloo is (in my opinion) Canada's best engineering school and Systems Design is (in my opinion) the school's most unique engineering discipline. In Systems Design we learn how to apply a multidisciplinary skillset and design thinking to solve multifaceted complex problems. We learn how to ask the right questions, empathize with users, and learn the skills necessary to build a solution.
Close ProjectTo balance out my tech heavy life, I like to spend some time every summer at Camp Mini Yo We. Camp Mini Yo We is a Bible camp in Port Sydney Ontario that is dedicated to building tomorrow's leaders through life changing adventures in God's creation. There I lifeguarded, cabin lead, helped operations, and instructed sailing. I love being in Muskoka, and take every chance I get to spend time there in the summer!
Close ProjectMost recently I got the change to work at Apple on the Siri Sports Domain team. There I built Siri's knowledge on all things sports, all while learning from some of the best engineers in the industry! There I wrote Java code, interacted with Maven and Gradle and used IntelliJ as my IDE.
