I am a Systems Software and High-performance Math Library engineer with experience maintaining large and complex products like Intel Math Kernel Library and uxlfoundation/oneMATH. My work and interests center on low-level programming, compiler toolchain development, and software security. I am based out of Vancouver, British Columbia, but open to remote work and relocation.
- Systems Programming: Experienced in C, C++, and Python for building robust, high-performance software.
- Compiler Engineering: Skilled in compiler theory, code generation, optimization, and toolchain integration.
- Linux Power User: Daily driver of Arch Linux (KDE Plasma), familiar with kernel module management and GPU hardware.
- Performance & Debugging: Proficient with profiling, debugging, and performance analysis tools.
- Open Source Contributor: Passionate about contributing to and maintaining open-source projects, especially those related to systems and developer tooling.
- Gaming on Linux: Enjoy running modern games (e.g., Baldur's Gate 3, A Plague Tale: Innocence) natively, via Proton compatibility layers and wine.
- Self-hosting: Run a self hosted Metatrader 5 algorithm trader, Immich Photo Management Server, Plex Media Server and an AI server with Ollama and N8N Agentic Workflows on a custom-built PC.
