About

I am a software engineer with over 3 years of experience building scalable backend systems in production. I also have a Masters in Data Science from UBC. I am very passionate about distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and performance optimization across cloud-native environments. I realy love using my technical skills to tackle real-world challenges, whether it's saving time or simplifying everyday tasks. I think my biggest strength is that I really thrive under pressure and love working in fast paced work environments.

TransSync

TransSync

TransSync is a cloud-native application that helps commuters of Vancouver track public buses in real time using live GPS data. It leverages Kafka (on Confluent Cloud), Spring Boot, and GTFS dataset (Translink) to show upcoming bus arrival times and distances based on user input. The project demonstrates low-latency data streaming, microservices, and real-world event processing to solve the common problem of uncertainty in public transit.
