I'm a full-stack engineer based in Toronto, specializing in React, Next.js, and Node.js. Currently building at Salient Marketing, previously shipped products at Devsinc and launched an MVP from scratch at Ringen.
With a Master's in Computer Science from Lakehead University, I've delivered 25+ projects — from SaaS platforms and NFT marketplaces to order management systems serving 30,000+ users. I use AI tools like Claude and Cursor to ship 2-3x faster without sacrificing quality.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring Toronto's food scene or diving into the latest in AI — currently leveling up through an AI course at the University of Waterloo.
