About

As a computer science and engineering graduate with a game development technician diploma, I bring over 5 years of software industry experience to my role as a Build and Release Specialist at Ubisoft Toronto. With a keen eye for detail and a strong sense of ownership, I monitor, configure, and administer the build and deployment systems to ensure smooth operations. Driven by my passion for learning and automation, I constantly seek out new ways to optimize build delivery processes. From developing modern build solutions to integrating existing tools, I streamline build distribution and enhance testing capabilities to support complex, multi-platform integration. In addition to collaborating closely with game development teams to enhance deployment processes for both SDKs and online services, I enjoy sharing my knowledge with my colleagues and teaching part-time at a game programming diploma program. I take pride in helping to educate and inspire the next generation of developers. In my spare time, I love to automate things at my place, watch anime, and collect gadgets.
