I'm a web developer based in Ontario, Canada with 10+ years of experience across SaaS and agency environments. I'm interested in the relationship between technology and social impact — building things that work well and matter.
I build performant, accessible, and maintainable web systems — 10+ years across SaaS and agency environments, working in modern JavaScript frameworks, custom CMS development, and cross-functional collaboration with Marketing, Product, Sales, and Ops teams.
I'm drawn to work where strong technical execution meets real-world impact, particularly in health tech and community health. My background in psychology, qualitative mental health research, and peer support with marginalized communities isn't separate from my development work — it's the lens I bring to it. I'm looking for roles where those things converge: building technology that helps uplift the people and communities most often underserved by it.
Frameworks & Libraries: React · Vue.js · Next.js · Nuxt.js
CMS & Web: WordPress (custom themes, ACF, headless) · PHP · HTML/CSS/Sass
Tools & Platforms: Git · GA4 · GTM · Marketo · Figma
Exploring: AI agent workflows · LangChain · LangGraph
I studied Psychology and English at the University of Toronto and spent time doing qualitative research at CAMH (Centre for Addiction and Mental Health) before finding my way into development. That background still shapes how I think about the people on the other side of what I build.
