Waterloo CE '28

I'm a Computer Engineering student at the University of Waterloo and a software engineer, currently at Replicas (YC P26), and joining Mintlify for my winter 2027 co-op. Before that, I worked on the v0 team at Vercel, built developer tooling at Helicone (YC W23) — LLM observability, multilingual SDKs — and embedded full-stack systems at Arcturus Networks. I ran LiveCode247 (200K+ views) and help maintain Typewind.
