Current role

Amazon Prime Video PV Privacy team Toronto, Canada

The way I work

A generalist engineer with a systems brain.

The best software feels straightforward because the hard decisions have already been made. I enjoy working through those decisions: clarifying the problem, designing clean paths through complexity, and shipping work a team can build on.

I currently work at Amazon on Prime Video’s PV Privacy team. I graduated from the University of Toronto in April 2026 as a Computer Science Specialist, and my experience spans FPGA tooling, web products, research systems, and early-stage fintech.

Start with the real user and the real constraint.

02

03

Leave systems clearer than I found them.

02 / Experience

Growing through real systems.

Hands-on roles where reliability, collaboration, and attention to the details mattered.
