Hi, I’m Monica. Trained as a physicist and systems engineer, I now enjoy tackling software engineering challenges. Happiest when working at the edge of my abilities and indulging my curiosity, my current personal projects lean toward refining my Rust skills, inching closer to the metal, honing deeper expertise with distributed systems, and keeping up with advances in machine learning.
My career has spanned science and engineering research, entrepreneurship, running brick and mortar businesses, and leading teams and technical projects at both startups and larger organizations. Still, my heart truly lies with technical work that’s the foundation for upper layers of the stack, and I focus most of my energy there now.
On a personal level, I thrive on challenges and am inspired by professionally brilliant colleagues who are also wonderful humans. Over the years, I’ve called Toronto, Ann Arbor, Paris, Vancouver, Amsterdam, and Oxford home. I love the outdoors and am privileged to now have the flexibility to spend most of my time in places with exceptionally stunning nature nearby.
I’m always happy to hear from kind folks! ♡ Socials + email on the landing page.
