Hi, I'm Jay, a near-completion undergraduate currently studying at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia (Previous: University of British Columbia).
I'm super passionate about tech and getting my hands on the next big thing to tinker with. I'm probably adding something to my homelab's server, custom built router/network, or my army of raspberry pi's.
Mostly building in private repos but can't wait to show it off (if they let me lol)!
- Working as a Software Engineer at OffroadExpert building their website and company tools
- Learning about neural nets and modern computer architecture—superscalar, branch-pred, caching, and multithreading
- Privately Tutoring CS Courses
- Built full-stack web and mobile apps (Check out one of my latest projects, ExpensAI!)
- Helped build multiple online AI courses featured on Coursera, Udemy, and Thinkific
- Tutored students at various U.S./Canadian Universities in Computer Science, Calculus, Data Science, and Statistics!
- Built, operate, and maintain a home lab for my own personal home automation, scripts, VMs, network, and services, etc
- Built my own custom router and raspberry pi-powered DNS server
- Built, operate, maintain, and deploy private cloud/server(s) for companies that I work with as well as migrate their core services to it
- So much! but more specifically working on software tools via Web/Mobile, Cloud, Networking, Distributed Systems, Computer Systems, ML and LLMs
