About me

Hey, I'm Kio. I’m a software engineer based out of Toronto working in cloud + cybersec. Here's a bit on me:

  • Big fan of open-source and building for the web. I've worked across the JavaScript/TypeScript, Ruby, Elixir, and Go ecosystems.
  • Conceptualized and led TypeScript integration, data validation improvements, and design initiatives for fintech systems.
  • Very full-stack. I've contributed to UI/UX, accessibility, internationalization, performance optimization, testing, and DevOps/infrastructure work, from early-stage startups to platform-scale products.
  • Recently, I've been focused on building durable cybersec systems - working on access control models, authentication flows, release-stable APIs, and maintaining reliability across complex environments.

Away from my keyboard, I'm into hiking, climbing, and photography. My weekends are filled with board games, thrifting, and losing myself in music, sci-fi books, and films.

If you have work opportunities, collaboration ideas, or just want to say hi, feel free to reach out!
