About

I'm John, born in Banff (a town with big mountains) and raised in Calgary (some other small city in Canada). I'm ambitious about helping people and obsessed with making an impact in the world.

I've probably thought of doing every career imaginable, from my earliest aspirations of being a wildlife biologist to designing bridges as a civil engineer to becoming a licensed therapist and finally building as a software engineer.

What drew me to software engineering was the adaptability and applicability of software in any and every industry. As a software engineer, you can build out any idea, very fast, and millions of people can use it the very next day (obviously scaling will be an issue but that's not the point).

I'm currently a third-year Business and Computer Science student studying at the University of British Columbia. My passion lies in creating impact and software that is critical. I also like to do things other than code→
