About

Most people I know say I'm "hard to describe." I live in Toronto and graduated with a B.A. in Philosophy and English from the University of Toronto in 2022. I had worked in various roles in Ontario poliyics since August 2022 - My last job (which I left in anticipation of a Cabinet shuffle) was a Policy Advisor in the Minister's Office for the President of the Treasury Board of Ontario .

I specialized in I&IT Projects and energy-related submissions which would come to Ontario's Treasury Board/Management Board of Cabinet, typically the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement ,the Ministry of Energy and Mines from Ontario.

I've since moved on to pursue more exciting work at the intersection of technology and politics.. This server hosts various things.

Writing

I set up a Jekyl blog when I last imaged this server. I planned to write retrospective pieces on academic work, long-form notes, and topics of personal interest.

Library

Despite a strong and long-running reading habit, I wouldn't have described myself as a book collector until 2018. Since then, I've greatly enjoyed loaning volumes to friends.

To simplify the process, I keep an inventory of my collection.
