Profile
I'm a versatile full-stack developer and technical leader with over 26 years of experience shipping products across web, mobile, and cloud platforms. I've worked as CTO, tech lead, and solo developer — building everything from food delivery platforms and adtech systems to educational tools and casual games.
I'm based in Canada and always interested in challenging projects that push boundaries.

Tech Toolbox
Backend & APIs — language-agnostic
Currently reaching for PHP/Laravel and Node.js. Comfortable in whatever the project runs on.
Frontend — framework-agnostic
Currently reaching for React, Vue, and TypeScript. Have shipped in most of what came before them.
Mobile & desktop — native or hybrid
Currently reaching for Swift on iOS and Kotlin on Android. Objective-C, Java, and Electron when the situation calls for it.
Data — relational, document, in-memory
Currently reaching for MySQL, with Redis where it fits. The shape of the data picks the store.
Infrastructure — cloud, containers, edge
Currently reaching for AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, DynamoDB), Docker, and Nginx. Have run things on bare metal too.
AI integration & third-party APIs
Chatbots, image analysis, voice, and workflow automation. Years of plugging in payments, telephony, maps, identity, and the rest.
The tool follows the problem. After 26 years, the names on the list change more than the work does.
