Hello, hope you're doing well! My name is Kabir — welcome to my corner of the internet. I'm a software engineer currently based in Canada. Most recently, I was a backend engineer at Faire in Toronto, working on the Marketplace Quality team tackling fraud and collaborating cross-functionally to improve our low-quality product listings. Before that, I was working as a software engineer in Tokyo and finishing my Computer Science degree at the University of Toronto. I've taken the last year to focus on my goals playing the competitive Pokémon Trading Card Game, which gave me the opportunity to travel the world and compete in tournaments at various levels. I am currently open to software engineering job opportunities.
For any formal communication, please reach out via email: kabirvirji [at] gmail [dot] com.
I offer free coaching for the Pokémon Trading Card Game to give back to my community. My coaching is for those who want to improve at the game, regardless of skill level. The game has grown 10x in popularity over the last ten years, and I have unique experience playing at a high level in both the legacy and modern eras. Notable tournament placements:
