Software Engineer Intern·Environment and Climate Change Canada

Jun 2025 — Present · North York, ON

Reduced workflow triage and debugging time by developing a Go-based control plane with an SSE observability stream, eliminating manual log searches and providing real-time file state tracking.
Led a 3-person team to reverse-engineer a legacy C++ system, producing UML and architectural diagrams to document system design.
Modernized internal R&D tooling by replacing a legacy VB6 application with a structured Python/PyQt GUI, implementing Graylog compatible structured logging and secure psycopg SQL queries to process 50,000+ row product datasets.
Optimized validation of multiple product datasets (50,000+ rows) by implementing parameterized SQL queries in applications, eliminating SQL injection risks and reducing overall query latency.
Standardized 8 legacy enterprise Java components to Java 17 and Jakarta EE 10, resolving over 300 compiler warnings and replacing deprecated APIs during the migration.

tech: Go, C++, RabbitMQ, Java, Maven, JakartaEE, Apache Tomcat, Python, PyQt, PostgreSQL, GitLab, Linux

Backend Engineer·Undergraduate Science Society of TMU

Jan 2025 — Present · Toronto, ON

Engineered a contract-first backend API in Go powering platform services for the undergraduate science student body, leveraging SQLc for type safety and OpenAPI to enforce strict definitions across 32+ endpoints.
Built S3-based image storage with presigned URLs to support secure, horizontally scalable before and after item image uploads.
Implemented a Redis-backed Asynq worker to asynchronously process queued email jobs and deliver notifications via AWS SES.
Added 37+ unit, mock integration, and end-to-end tests to ensure reliability and correctness of business logic.
