About Me

Hello! My name is Jonathan and I enjoy building cool things with software. I'm a CS co-op student at the University of Toronto and I will be graduating in 2027.

So far I've the privilege of working with some amazing people at AWS, Dash Social, my university's self-driving car team, an AI dental software startup and the CubeSat division within a student-led aerospace team.

Right now, I'm working as a Software Engineer Intern at Index Exchange on the Exchange Platform team where I work primarily on low-latency microservices with Go, Kafka, Redis, Docker and k8s.
