As a software engineer, I enjoy building products with code.
I've built Cryptare⏤a cryptocurrency portfolio management app that served 500+ WAUs and reached rank 6 on the paid section of the iOS app store.
I worked at Graphy by Unacademy and built an iOS app which served 50,000 MAUs. As a team lead, I helped execute 0-to-1 products like a live streaming player and a chat-based community product.
I've also worked on Futurecam⏤a computational photography app with cool modes like light trail videos, multi-timelampse and long-exposure.
I studied Computer Science at the University of St. Andrews and, with a direct 2nd-year entry, completed a 4-year course in 3 years.
In my free time I like to solve puzzles, read, exercise, and spend time in nature.
