Hey, I'm Kurt 👋

Software Engineer @ Nmbr · Engineer @ Tofu · RBC SWE Co-op incoming (Fall 2026) · CS @ York University · Toronto, ON

 


About me

I'm someone who can't sit still when there's something worth building. I grew up watching the people around me work hard for everything they had, and it shaped the way I move. I don't wait for permission, I don't wait for the right time, I just start.

Whether it's shipping code, organizing an event, or reaching out to a stranger who's doing something interesting, I'd rather try and learn than sit on the bench.

What I care about most is people. The builders, the outsiders, the ones figuring it out as they go. I try to show up for them the way I wish someone had shown up for me earlier.

A lot of that comes from my love for Toronto and the community being built here. This city has introduced me to some of the most curious, generous, and ambitious people I've met, and I want to keep helping make it easier for people to find their way into those rooms.
