Experience, skills, and expertise

Software Developer

I’m a full-stack developer with Frontend, Backend, and DevOps experience. As a Software Developer at Knowtworthy, I work on both the Frontend Web App and Backend API using MongoDB, Koa.js, React, and Node.js (modified MERN stack). Additionally, I take a lead role in designing and maintaining our cloud infrastructure on AWS. This is includes managing our CI/CD system and Kubernetes cluster to ensure that the team’s work is tested and deployed with confidence.

Outside of work, I enjoy working with Python and Rust as the basis for my personal projects.

Co-founder of Knowtworthy

Knowtworthy is a Meetings Productivity tool for business professionals to aid in organizing, formatting, and sharing meeting minutes. My role at the company is technology and engineering focused, putting me in charge of the technology stack. My responsibilities at Knowtworthy extend to every layer of stack: Frontend, Backend, and Cloud Infrastructure.

With my Co-founders, Alex and Sid, we’ve taken Knowtworthy from idea stage at the University of Toronto’s Entrepreneurship Hatchery to releasing our flagship product to paying customers. Throughout this process, we’ve listened to our customers to build a product that helps them save time with the features they want.
