Who I Am

Full-stack developer and Computing Science graduate with hands-on experience building production-grade AI platforms, SaaS systems, and real-time integrations across cloud environments.

Comfortable across the entire stack — from backend API design and database architecture to frontend UI, cloud deployment, and CI/CD pipelines.

Drawn to complex problems that require both technical depth and business thinking — multi-agent SaaS platforms, system integrations, and automated workflows that solve real operational challenges.

Based in Halifax. Open to freelance, contract, and full-time opportunities — remote-friendly.
