I'm Kevin — a software engineer with a love for good food, photography, and exploring new places. Originally from Vancouver and now based in New York City, I enjoy finding the balance between technology and creativity in my work and hobbies.
When I'm not coding, I'm usually trying to keep up with my energetic cat Yuzu, experimenting with new Chinese recipes, or zipping through the city on my electric skateboard.
Leading the expansion of our AI platform that now serves over 70% of the firm's employees daily
Built AI assistants that make me look smarter than I actually am by answering questions I'd otherwise Google
Conducting executive training sessions on AI implementation strategies and best practices
Created AI tools that do the hard work while I get to take credit for the insights
Developed an enterprise-grade LLM-powered assistant with integrations to proprietary data sources
Automated workflows for colleagues who now think I'm a wizard, when really I just hate repetitive tasks
Pioneered function-calling AI systems that have become the foundation for firm-wide automation
Created dashboards to track AI performance because even I couldn't understand what was happening without visuals
Upgraded cloud infrastructure while regularly panicking about potentially breaking the internet (thankfully didn't)
Led cross-functional effort to reduce server impairment recidivism, resulting in significant infrastructure efficiency gains
Fixed critical issues in maintenance alert systems affecting tens of thousands of instances
Developed a server health analytics pipeline covering millions of EC2 instances with visualization tools
Automated server failure detection, mostly to avoid having to manually check them all (laziness is the mother of automation)
Designed web interfaces for financial software while struggling to balance my own bank account
Implemented backend Java services enabling fast and flexible filtering of customer data
Coursework in algorithms, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and software engineering
Built real-world projects with Codebase while somehow managing not to break production
Balanced dining hall shifts with debugging sessions, making me an expert at both serving spaghetti and untangling it
