Internship at Synopsys - GTA (Not the fun one), Ontario
Sept 3rd, 2024I wrote firmware for a 224G Ethernet PHY. The firmware was a pain in the ass to test on silicon, so I wrote a framework to help me poke the test chip over a JTAG connection. The framework is now being given to customers. This means that every day, I wake up scared that I left a dirty joke somewhere in the codebase by accident. I consider this fear to be 90% irrational. During this time, I also learned that I really like writing (even if I'm not that good at it yet).
Internship at General Dynamics - Ottawa, Ontario
May 1st, 2023Joined General Dynamics as a Vetronics Software intern. This was my first experience working on a large codebase as well as my first experience with embedded Linux. At this job I also gained some experience with TypeScript which was a motivating factor behind this website.
Internship at Teck Resources Limited - Sparwood, BC
May 4th, 2022When I wasn't mountain biking I was working on a high-speed transient detection system with Teck's Mining Systems team.
Second fire season with BCWS - Fort Nelson, BC
Apr 28th, 2021My second wildfire season and the first one where things actually happened. During this time I learned two things: 1. Nothing makes one grateful for the modern office environment quite like being stuck in a smoked-out mosquito infested swamp for sixteen hours (at times multiple days) and 2. Helicopters and chainsaws are really cool.
Started University at UBC
Sept 6th, 2020First year was remote so I didn't even know what the campus looked like until second year.
First fire season with BCWS - Vanderhoof, BC
June 28th, 2020Thought it would be cool to be a firefighter. Unfortunately the 2020 season in BC was lacking in fires so I mostly just ended up going for a lot of runs and driving around in the bush.
Graduation - Vanderhoof, BC
June 23rd, 2020Won a $20 bet that my last name would get mispronounced as I got called up.
