About Me

I graduated from the University of Toronto with a degree in Computer Science. After graduating, I joined the AWS division at Amazon's headquarters in Seattle as a software engineer. After that I returned to Vancouver to start a business providing e-commerce solutions for direct-to-consumer brands. I have also taught web development at Lighthouse Labs, Canada's largest coding bootcamp. In 2020, I sold my startup and joined a fintech unicorn Brex as an Engineering Manager. During my tenure, I led multiple platform engineering teams, including leading multiple Staff (Senior+) level software engineers to develop and launch several core products for Brex.

Why I choose Crypto

In 2024 I left Brex, and started to looking for my next opportunity. I believe that crypto and AI are the biggest opportunities in the next decade. Most people still don't understand crypto because it is a industry in its early stages. Without some level of computer knowledge, it is difficult for regular people to acquire Bitcoin. Even if they acquired it, without a technical background, it is very difficult to securely store their Bitcoin. I decided to become a bridge to help regular people understand crypto. The crypto industry itself is very complex, but I believe that most people do not need to understand everything; they only need to know Bitcoin to benefit from it. So I focus on helping individuals and businesses securely acquire and store crypto assets like Bitcoin while optimizing for tax savings and inheritance.
