Software Engineer
I've gotten to work at a couple of cool places over the years, check them out!

Confluent is a data streaming platform powered by Apache Kafka. My intern project was to build a CLI that helped security admins monitor their Confluent Platform for suspicious activity and security threats.

Databricks provides a Unified Analytics Platform built atop Apache Spark that helps companies analyze their data. As a Software Engineer Intern, I helped integrate JupyterLab into Databricks.

Lending Loop is the first (and only!) regulated peer-to-peer
lending platform in Canada. As a Software Engineer Intern, I worked on an application that we used to verify, approve and manage loan applications.

Vidyard is the video layer of the internet. As a Product Manager Intern, I worked with engineers on different projects (the biggest one being a remodel of our system notification architecture which reduced the time required to send a system notification by over 50%), analyzed a lot of data and prepared reports with HEAP and Periscope and wrote product briefs.
The tools I used include Sequel Pro, Periscope Data, Heap Analytics and Jira
