Hi there!

I'm a software engineer from 🇨🇦 living in San Francisco. I'm currently recharging & figuring out my next life steps.

Most recently, I was a staff engineer and one of the first 30 employees at Figma, where I worked from 2016—2021.

I'm a past member of the Khan Academy engineering team, and a uWaterloo SoftEng alumnus.
