About
✨ I'm a former Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) turned Digital Product Manager and Software Engineer, with ~7 years of experience in consumer tech, digital strategy & innovation, risk & governance, and financial services.💪 I also work part time as a Sessional Instructor Assistant at Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, a Capstone Marker at CPA Ontario, and a Certified Ski Instructor.👻 When I’m not at work, you can find me in a local cafe, getting lost in a good book, or going down the rabbit hole of a random fact I learned yesterday.
Vocatio
Okay, let's make one thing clear - not knowing your career in your 20s is normal. Changing your career in your 30s or 40s is normal. But while it's easy to know that you want change, it's tough to know what you'd like to change into.I want to create a personalized career discovery tool that helps everyone find their ideal career path based on their skillsets, their background, what they like and don't like in a job.That is Vocatio. “Vocatio" is derived from Latin, which means "calling" or "summons." Hope you find yours.It is currently under construction. 🔨Stay tuned!
Z-Lingo
As a proud millennial, one thing I’m not super proud about is not understanding what my Gen Z friends are saying sometimes. That's why I created Z-Lingo 😎It’s an interactive quiz game that helps clueless people like myself to get a hang of these new Gen Z / Alpha language trends.

24-hour hackathon by Telus
(Took home first place 🏆)
As a team of 6 software engineers, we took on a real life industry challenge - option paralysis in the streaming space.With a 24-hour time constraint, we created a solution that integrated OpenAI's API to provide personalized streaming service recommendations, and created a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface, making it easier than ever for customers to personalize their streaming experience and stay within budget.
