My time at Wealthsimple has come to an end.
I'll start this off by saying, Wealthsimple is one of the fastest-growing unicorns in all of Canada. Nothing comes close to how quick they move, how high the bar is, and how good the people are.
If you want to work with some of the best in the country, you need to join Wealthsimple at some point in your career.
I never would've learned as much as I did at any other company, and I'm so upset that it's over, but a new journey awaits.

I got to work on:
→ 220 PRs opened, 200 merged, across 63 repos
→ Autonomous coding agent infrastructure now used org-wide. Ticket to draft PR, agentic code review, CI auto-remediation
→ Helped build the eval harness that scores our AI code reviewer, using Braintrust
→ Led an org-wide platform migration across ~188 repos
→ Owned observability for every AI agent in the org. Dashboards, tiered alerting, and silent-failure detection, all as Terraform
→ Architected an activity-driven sandbox lifecycle system on EKS so long-running agent sessions stop dying mid-task
→ Ran adversarial security reviews on external agent tooling.

I was given real ownership from day one...
Thank you to the AI Platform Foundations team, Matthew, Adi, Andrew, and Josh. So humbled that I got to work alongside you all, by far some of the smartest engineers in the country.
And to Diederik, Brett, Michael, Simon, Madi, Belle, Sheryl, all the friends I made along the way, and everyone who made this summer possible. Thank you.
I will never forget the time I spent with you, and I will always, in my heart, be a Wealthsimpler. ❤️
