Hello 👋

My name is Gareth Lau. I'm currently pursuing a dual degree in software engineering and business administration at Western University and Ivey Business School. I have a background in full stack web development that stems from a curiosity in user behaviour and passion for building solutions. If you're interested, I welcome you to check out my blog where I write about technical explorations and share things I've learned.

Previously, I worked at Datadog as a Software Engineering Intern on the GCP integrations team where I designed and implemented a new gRPC service in Go that enhanced load balancer metrics. Prior to Datadog, I was a full stack developer intern at Condos.ca where I built a power dialer for their proprietary client relationship management platform. I worked at TELUS in the summer of 2019 helping modernize their workstation reservation application and Teksbotics in the summer of 2018 where I did robotics development and worked on a keyword spotting model.

I enjoy spending my time working on passion projects (like floatingfile), running, and rock climbing (indoors). On campus, I've been an organizer for Hack Western for the past three years and was a Co-VP for the Projects Portfolio on Western Founders Network.
