About

I'm a developer who's worked at CAE and IWK Hospital building applications that people actually use daily.

My work spans enterprise software and healthcare systems—real applications with real users, not just portfolio pieces. I've shipped features that handle thousands of users and maintain systems that can't go down.

I work with React, Next.js, and Node.js for most web projects, and C#/.NET when the architecture calls for it. The tools change, but solving problems and shipping reliable code stays the same.

Currently

Building secure chat platforms and contributing to enterprise applications using modern web technologies and .NET ecosystems.
