Selected work
A mix of full-stack products, learning platforms, workflow automation, cloud infrastructure, developer tooling, and AI systems.
A responsive storefront for browsing, filtering, wishlisting, and purchasing a collection of AI-generated artisan cubes.
Built the Angular storefront and Express API, integrated Stripe checkout and MongoDB, and packaged the system with Docker for AWS deployment.
A peer-to-peer marketplace where users can create accounts, list vehicles, buy from other users, and manage their inventory.
Designed a Spring Boot REST API with JWT, OAuth2, role-based access, JPA, and MySQL, then containerized the React application for cloud hosting.
A Python workflow that runs repeatable searches across Indeed and LinkedIn, deduplicates results, and prepares structured CSV data for screening.
Automated 15 search combinations, handled scraper limitations pragmatically, and produced a 414-posting dataset that was reduced to 266 after screening.
A transparent WinForms utility for selecting and installing common applications from official winget sources, with editable Windows and Linux scripts.
Created a searchable GUI with progress feedback and live logs, plus a GitHub Actions workflow that builds release artifacts from version tags.
An on-call assistant that takes an alert, error, or stack trace, retrieves the most relevant runbooks, and asks Claude for a structured triage: probable root cause, remediation steps, and the exact commands to run.
Built a retrieval-augmented pipeline with a dependency-free BM25 index and Claude structured outputs, wrapped in a CLI, a Streamlit UI, and an offline evaluation suite that ranks the correct runbook first on every test case.
A compact FastAPI service that demonstrates production-minded Kubernetes patterns through repeatable local manifests and a secure container image.
Built a two-replica rolling deployment with health probes, runtime metadata, resource controls, non-root security, and optional ingress and autoscaling; verified the API, rendered manifests, image build, and container behavior.
A modular French-learning app for daily practice across the full A1–C2 range, with quizzes, long-form lessons, and locally saved progress.
Separated the curriculum into JSON-driven content, built dashboard, quiz, lesson, and progress routes, and delivered 18 level-tagged questions plus eight detailed lessons with accessible desktop and mobile navigation.

About
I am a Halifax-based software engineer who likes owning the whole path from a database decision to the interface a customer sees. My strongest work sits where product engineering and operational reliability meet.
I hold a BSc in Computer Science from Saint Mary's University, where I graduated with a 3.96/4.3 GPA. I am Microsoft Azure Fundamentals certified, working toward AWS Solutions Architect Associate, and speak French at B2 level.
