Hi, I'm Simar

Software Engineer

Let's begin

My Story

I was raised in Surrey, BC, and have called it home since kindergarten. My passion for engineering and coding began at Enver Creek Secondary, where I explored robotics and computer programming.

After high school, I pursued the Computer Systems Technology program at BCIT, gaining hands-on experience through a Co-op term as a Data Engineer at ICBC, where I built Scala-based ETL pipelines processing over 50 million records using Apache Spark. I then joined TerraTap Technologies as a Software Engineer, leading a team to develop an automated data pipeline supporting 470 global datasets.

In early 2024, I worked as a Software Engineer at Purple Lotus, focusing on API optimization and cloud infrastructure using AWS. From September 2024 to June 2025, I served as a Junior Software Engineer at Westgate Technology Corp., developing ROS2-based software for autonomous guided vehicles including mapping, localization, and navigation systems.

Currently, I'm an Intermediate Developer at Premier Group, where I design document automation workflows in Guidewire and develop data migration pipelines. Alongside work, I am completing a part-time Bachelor's degree in Applied Computer Science at BCIT, expected to graduate in March 2026.
