Hi, I'm Yash.
I build products at the intersection of empathy and engineering. Waterloo & Laurier double-degree student, lifelong hemophiliac, and someone who treats every roadmap like it has a heartbeat. Currently looking for product roles where I can work alongside passionate, hardworking people.
Who I am
I'm a 20-year-old university student currently working toward a double degree — Computer Science at Waterloo and Business at Laurier. Over the last 3–4 years I've picked up hands-on work experience at some of the largest companies in Canada and the United States, across airlines, insurance, and government — getting a close look at how very different industries actually build product.
Long-term, I want to build my own startup. But I'd rather learn from the best first — sit inside the rooms where decisions get made, understand how product, engineering, and operations actually work together at scale, and bring all of that with me when I go build something of my own.
The other constant in my life is hemophilia. I've lived with it since birth, and I'm deeply focused on giving back to the hemophilia community — through my role at the Canadian Hemophilia Society and through projects like VENA. Whatever I end up building, I want it to keep making space for that.

This Site — Personal Portfolio
The website you're on right now. A dark, scroll-driven portfolio built around a hemophilia-inspired visual identity — biconcave red blood cells drifting through a Three.js scene, animated vein lines, and glowing interactive cards layered over a single-page resume.
