Software Engineering (Co-op) @ University of Alberta · Backend · DevOps · Systems
I build reliable software, ship clean abstractions, and turn messy workflows into tools teams actually enjoy using.
- Builder mindset: take “this is painful” → design → ship → measure → document.
- Engineering fundamentals: correctness, performance, maintainability (tests + tooling + readable code).
- Team-first: I communicate early, unblock fast, and like leaving systems better than I found them.
- Nextep — Chrome extension ecosystem for job-application automation (React/TypeScript, Chrome APIs)
https://github.com/davephoenix360/nextep - DragonShell — custom shell with jobs + concurrency (C, OS fundamentals)
https://github.com/DIEPREYECD/dragonshell-f25-DIEPREYECD - MapReduce / fs-sim — threadpool + concurrency, file system simulation
https://github.com/DIEPREYECD/assignment2-mapreduce-DIEPREYECD - Streamer University (Unity) — event card system + minigames
https://github.com/DIEPREYECD/CMPUT-250-Project Play At https://diepreyecdd.itch.io/streamer-university
Comfortable with: backend services · APIs · CI/CD · cloud · databases · Linux
Also used: PHP/WordPress, Google APIs/Sheets tooling, Unity
- BESA (Black Engineering Students Association): ran mentorship + professional development events, built outreach/marketing assets, and helped programs run smoothly.
- I care about clarity + velocity: good docs, good defaults, fewer “tribal knowledge” bottlenecks.

If you’re building something in developer productivity, backend/platform, cloud, or systems, I’m probably interested.
