Platform engineer and full-stack builder based in Toronto. I work across infrastructure, software, product, design, and operations, taking
products from idea to production and scaling the systems that support them. I'm the founder of RoleReady, a job search workspace I designed, built, and run solo. Open to interesting opportunities.
I use AI across product, code, and business. It helps most when you understand how it works in practice: what it's reliable for, where it breaks
down, and how to structure work so you're directing and reviewing rather than trusting a first draft. Used that way, it's a meaningful
productivity multiplier and a tool I expect to keep building around. It has not replaced my taste or judgment. The models carry heavy biases,
and confident-sounding output can still be wrong. I treat what they produce as material to edit, not something to ship unchanged.
"A wise leader does not rely completely on things such as algorithms."
Shipping notes and small things I built along the way.
