I’m a full-stack software developer who specializes in backend systems — APIs, databases, auth, and cloud deployment. I build things end-to-end and ship them to real users. Most recently: Career-Tracker.ca, an AI-powered job application tracker, and Shot O’Clock, an Android/iOS mobile app pending release.

About

I'm a Toronto-based engineer with a passion for building things — whether that's a web app, a mobile app, or just a random idea, I love taking it from a thought to planning it out, building it, and making it real.

I like to utilize AI in my workflow to move faster and build more efficiently. I've been able to develop the architecture around my AI-assisted development to allow AI to become a powerful tool without it steering the ship.

Outside of code, I’ve spent years teaching youth programming and AI concepts through ACCN. I currently do work evaluating AI-generated code and responses professionally, which has sharpened my eye for what separates genuinely good model outputs from the poor ones. I also enjoy sports, music and anime.

SaaS Web App · Live
Career-Tracker

An AI-powered application tracker built to replace the spreadsheets and scattered files that fall apart once your job search gets serious. Log every application, attach tailored resumes and documents, manage contacts — then let AI evaluate your fit, suggest resume changes, draft your cover letter, and prepare for any interviews. Built solo. Live. Used by real people running real job searches.

TypeScript Fastify Next.js PostgreSQL GCP OpenAI API
  • Free to start, AI credits included
  • Paste a job posting link and pull the details automatically
  • Every application keeps its own notes, tags, and attached documents
  • Built by someone who actually needed it
MicroFlix preview
Microservices Platform · Project
MicroFlix

A microservices-based media catalog platform split into four independent services. Built to explore real distributed-systems tradeoffs — service boundaries, data isolation, and observability — rather than just wiring up a monolith.

Java Spring Boot Spring Cloud PostgreSQL AWS Docker Prometheus/Grafana
  • Found and fixed a slow database query, making it 28× faster
  • Cut down repeated network calls so pages load in a single request
  • Each service checks who you are on its own — no shared bottleneck slowing things down

AI Inference Platform

A self-hosted system for running an open-source AI model — handling live requests in real time and background batch jobs side by side, both watched over by the same monitoring setup. Understanding what it actually takes to run a model yourself, not just calling an API.

Python FastAPI vLLM PostgreSQL Docker Prometheus/Grafana
  • Handles two different workloads at once — instant responses and large background jobs — without one slowing down the other
  • Full monitoring dashboards and load testing built in from the start, not added after the fact
  • A failed job doesn't take down the batch — each one is isolated so the rest keep processing

Mobile App · Release Pending
Shot O’Clock

A drinking game app for legal-drinking-age groups, on Android and iOS. Join a session with a code, and a synced countdown builds to one shared “Shot O’Clock” moment across everyone’s screen — with live tracking of who’s still in the whole way through.

React Native Expo Supabase TypeScript PostgreSQL
  • No account needed — join a party with a code and you're in
  • Play as a group or host solo on one phone
  • Grace and elimination modes to control how the game is played
  • Push notifications wired in to notify you for key moments
Circle Accountability — Your Circles list Circle Accountability — circle detail with progress ring Circle Accountability — member stats and streak Circle Accountability — profile
Cross-Platform App · In Development
Circle Accountability

A group accountability app for small groups working toward a shared goal. Each person’s check-ins fill their slice of a circle — the group only completes it when everyone’s done their part. One app, built for iOS, Android, and web at once.

Go React Native Expo Next.js PostgreSQL Clerk Turborepo
  • Join or create multiple circles at once — a workout group, a study group, whatever you're building consistency around
  • Each person can set their own target within the shared goal
  • One shared codebase powers the mobile app and the web app together
  • Built with real load testing and CI checks from day one, not bolted on later
WS-PASS preview
Agentic DevOps System · Project (Concept Build)
WS - PASS

An agentic system that turns a written spec into a proposed architecture and plan — with a human checkpoint before anything gets built. Made with a partner to explore how far AI can be trusted with real planning work, without losing human control of the outcome.

TypeScript Next.js Fastify GitHub Actions Anthropic
  • Multiple AI agents work in sequence — planning, breaking down the work, then waiting for approval
  • Nothing gets written to GitHub without a human saying yes first
  • A live dashboard shows exactly what stage each run is at
