software engineer
I build software people actually use: course planners, chat clients, and research tooling. I care a lot about how each one feels under the fingers.
Frontend @ Unmodal Research BMath @ Waterloo Waterloo / Toronto, CA
a real shell. type help, drag the bar, resize the corner, move it anywhere.
solo: design, frontend, Supabase backend
Drag-and-drop course planning for Waterloo students: real-time filtering across the full catalogue, Supabase OAuth sign-in, schedules that persist, and a planner that stays instant across a whole degree map with optimistic updates reconciled on sync.
everything: world, engine, UI
A playable miniature Seoul where every building opens a piece of my work: cel-shaded, physics-driven, generated entirely in code. It's the other half of this site.
solo: protocol, server, client
A keyboard-driven realtime chat client built for speed: WebSocket messaging, channels, and presence in a deliberately low-latency UI.
real-time detection pipeline & the pitch
A browser extension that detects and swaps faces in any page or video at 30fps, inside a content script, without janking the host page.
solo: commands, persistence, hosting
A multi-purpose Discord bot built for 24/7 uptime: isolated command failures, persistent per-server config, and clean recovery from gateway disconnects.
Unmodal Research Inc.
Building frontend features and reusable UI components for internal and client-facing research tools.
DoBetter.love
Structured QA workflows for mobile features: UI/UX consistency, edge-case validation, and regression verification.
AIXFF
Built a storefront prototype in React Native and Expo with modular API service layers and Context-based state.
North P&D
Built React UI components and improved responsiveness, accessibility, and cross-browser behaviour.
University of Waterloo
Studying mathematics; building things on the side that people use.
I study mathematics at the University of Waterloo and spend most of my time shipping software: planners, chat clients, and research tooling. I like problems where the fix has to be felt, not just described: latency, drag-and-drop, the exact moment a UI responds.
Right now I build frontend for research tools at Unmodal Research. Before that I shipped React Native prototypes, ran QA pipelines, and built production React UI.
Away from the editor I'm usually deep in a keyboard build: lubing switches, tuning a layout, chasing a sound. It's the same fixation on how a thing feels that I bring to everything on this page, right down to the keys in the nav.
