Web Application Developer based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, working locally and remotely.

I see myself as both a problem solver and a connector. I have over 8 years of software development experience, with the last 4 years focused heavily on React, JavaScript, and TypeScript. I enjoy understanding how things work, diagnosing what's causing a problem, and building practical, easy-to-maintain solutions.

Much of my work centers on existing applications: developing new features, troubleshooting production bugs, and integrating tools like Sentry and Pendo to keep systems running smoothly.

• React & TypeScript: Building reliable interfaces, adding features, and modernizing frontend code.
• Existing Codebase Support: Digging into established codebases, tracking down difficult bugs, and making applications easier to maintain without requiring a full rebuild.
• Integrations & Analytics: Implementing tracking pipelines (Google Analytics 4, StatsD), connecting REST APIs, and monitoring app health.
• Broader Systems Experience: Solid background in SQL, C# / .NET, database development, and e-commerce from previous software engineering roles.

Whether working on code or bringing people together, I like finding ways to make things work better across the local tech community:

• Chapter Lead at Data For Good Maritimes
• Organizer & POC at DEFCON Halifax (DC902)
• Connector with the Halifax Partnership Connector Program
• Volunteer Medical Responder & Member of the Order of St. John (MStJ)

Always open to part-time freelance projects, contract application maintenance, or chatting about the Atlantic Canada tech community.
