About

I quit my job in 2024 to take a well-needed break but now I'm back on the job hunt. I travelled Japan for nearly 2 months and moved from San Francisco back home with my family to Vancouver. Before then, I graduated in the top 10% of my computer science class in 2019, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area for work.

Currently building an improved portfolio website, designs here. Credits to Dillion Verma for this temporary home.
