Founder of Weave
Pursuant to my enjoyment of building and creating, I began down the self-taught route of software development. After getting a taste, and wanting to maximize my skillset, I enrolled at the Software program at SAIT, where I will complete my studies in the Fall of 2026. In that time I have fallen in love with the creativity, the logic flows and freedom of developing software. To date, I have a number of freelance and personal projects on the go and ready for launch in the near future, which you can view below.
I use JavaScript daily across Next.js, React Native, and vanilla web projects—building interactive UI, fetching data, and wiring up front-end logic.
JavaScript
The old bread and butter - SQL. I’ve designed and queried relational data using PostgreSQL (Supabase), including multi-table relationships, joins, and practical schema decisions for real app features.

I use Python for data cleaning/transformations, automation, small scripts, plus some web work (e.g., Flask) and finance-focused tooling.
Python
I've spent many hours noodling around in NextJS and React Native. View my projects below for a glimpse of what I've created with these frameworks.

I’ve used Node.js to build back-end utilities and APIs—handling requests, working with databases, and wiring up server-side logic.

Daily Git use for branching, reviews, and keeping work clean. And yes, I keep my secrets OUT of repos.

Ahh, styling - my best friend and my worst enemy. Made easier with Tailwind!

I've made use of the power of CloudFlare from creating my own storage buckets to hosting websites, DNS config and email routing.

I’ve used DuckDB for analytic workflows, querying Parquet files and transforming larger datasets efficiently without spinning up a full database.

Java is where I solidified OOP fundamentals. I’m less active in it today, but I’m comfortable and happy to go deeper.
