About

Our family got its first Intel desktop in 2005, and that was pretty much it for me. I spent years trying to beat games the hard way, hunting edge cases, shaving seconds off puzzles, and poking at anything that felt like a secret. Eventually the fun shifted from clearing levels to figuring out how the machine was pulling it off. Taking PCs apart and putting them back together became a habit. I still default to that same move when something breaks in life. I strip it down, find the real bottleneck, then build up again. Engineering school just gave that instinct a vocabulary.

Outside of work I play drums, love to travel, chase photos wherever I end up, and keep a second brain so I do not lose the stories. The gallery on this site is mostly Banff and the Rockies. Rhythm, light, and systems all feel like the same itch to me. I notice the pattern, then make something with it.

Professional Timeline

Roles, impact, and stack

January 2026 - Present

Graduate Research and Teaching Assistant

University of British Columbia · Vancouver, Canada

Building computer vision and MLOps components for a cow lameness detection pipeline for segmentation of workflows, evaluation metrics, backend-frontend, infra setup, with containerized inference services on OpenStack for scalable workloads. Designed and deployed the full-stack platform on OpenStack Arbutus: Next.js + FastAPI + Postgres + NATS job queue to a vGPU worker (YOLOv8, ByteTrack, DINOv3), with a live demo at https://cow-app.tail1c5b2c.ts.net/. TA for Cloud Computing: ran tutorials and office hours for 60+ graduate students on distributed systems and deployment topics, and coached 12 capstone teams through architecture and design reviews toward more production-ready cloud deliverables.

April 2024 - November 2025

Software Engineer (Remote)

Blue Rabbit Group Ltd. · Hong Kong / India

Joined as the first software engineer and shipped the Series A MVP end to end. Built data pipelines, real-time analytics workflows, and AI-assisted automation for portfolio and trading operations, reducing manual risk review workload across investment workflows. Shipped the product using Django and React on GCP for 50+ clients, including order placement and client dashboards with sub-second median response times for positions, risk, and market views; integrated DBS Bank APIs. Designed AI agents with human review gates that automated analyst research and asset risk scoring, cutting analyst workflow time by roughly 70% without added headcount. Drove the migration from monolith to microservices (Next.js, NeonDB, Inngest, Clerk on Railway), automated monthly personalized reports for 50+ clients, instrumented product funnels and A/B experiments with PostHog, and orchestrated agent-style analytics/reporting workflows with validation steps before operational use.

August 2021 - April 2024

Staff Consultant | Software Engineer

Oracle Financial Services Software Limited · Bangalore, India / Hong Kong

Led onsite client-facing delivery for Oracle Banking Digital Experience (OBDX) in Hong Kong across fraud detection, FX dashboards, payments, QR gateway, and open banking; promoted to Staff Consultant within a year. Built multi-tenant open banking and access management capabilities that reduced partner onboarding effort by approximately 40% compared with the prior process. Translated customer requirements into workable PRDs and production code; gated changes on POCs plus re-signed PRDs rather than closing tickets as working as designed. Received Rising Star and Ever Ready awards; mentored and onboarded software engineers to the team.

Java, Eclipse, OJET, JPA-ORM, SQL, Oracle DB, SOAP/XML, OBDX, Apache FOP
