hey there 👋🏽
I'm a Vancouverite currently living in Toronto.
According to an expensive piece of paper, I'm employable as a software developer. I prefer to think of myself as a people-first problem-solver whose solutions sometimes involve writing code. Most of all, I identify as a human being interested in solving real problems for real people.
Currently, I'm part of the Wealthsimple team making financial services more accessible for all humans. Before that, I had brief dalliances with Facebook, Microsoft, Demonware, & Shopify (we weren't right for each other).
I try to run on my life on two axioms:
- Nothing is mutually exclusive
- The best opinions are thoroughly formed, but weakly held
Most of my free time is spent thinking about democratic citizenship, sustainable living, health care, privacy rights, & other matters that affect society at large.
I read a lot of fiction, non-fiction, & long-form journalism. I don't read the news.
