Hi! I'm a software developer, currently working on an enterprise VPN product where network access is controlled by a distributed system of servers, which our users can operate without needing to trust us with their traffic. My work is focused on the challenges of building this distributed system on top of Automerge, a CRDT library which the servers use for synchronization, and on user identity management. I work primarily in Rust, which I have been developing software with since 2022.

While I do enjoy working in Rust on distributed systems, I've previously worked in a variety of areas (front-end web development, internal tooling for network management, back-end code for a Linux desktop application), so I'm very flexible in what kind of software I work on.

I love learning new things. If I have experience with some amount of what you're looking for, please feel free to reach out anyway; I will readily learn whatever might be needed.

Hi! I'm a recently graduated UWaterloo CS alum with 1.5 years of experience in software development. My primary focus is web development, but I've worked in other areas of software as well, from internal tools for network management to back-end code for a Linux desktop application, so I'm very flexible in what kind of software I work on. I also have a strong interest in compilers/programming languages and would be interested in related roles.

I am an excellent collaborator and leader, which I honed through volunteer work in several university organizations, including being the executive director of a endowment fund which grants money to student orgs/projects and editing a beloved math student publication for almost two years.

I love learning new things. If I have experience with almost everything you're looking for, please feel free to reach out anyway; I will readily learn whatever might be needed.
