Hey Folks,

I’m a 6th year PhD Candidate at the University of Waterloo, doing research at the RCS Lab. My current research explores our storage system built underneath our Single level Store, Aurora. I also have been exploring the serverless environment and security systems. My interests are broad and in general I love solving problems through building, and strive for usability within my systems.

Outside of research I love playing all forms of games: board games, video games and dungeon mastering for Dungeons and Dragons 5e. I am always down to talk computers, coding and about great papers being published.
