$whoami--verbose

I'm a Mechatronics Engineering student at Waterloo. My co-op at Quotograph had me as the sole developer shipping production features across three SaaS products, which taught me how to own things end-to-end fast.

I build across the full stack: React and Next.js on the frontend, FastAPI and Node on the backend, PostgreSQL for data, and AWS for infrastructure. I also work on embedded systems through Formula Electric.

I am looking for a software engineering co-op where I can build real things, work on hard problems, and grow quickly.
