Software Engineer · St. John's, NL, Canada
I build where interfaces, intelligence, and real-world systems meet—then stay with the problem until it works.

Selected work
Selected projects across software engineering, applied AI, and connected systems—with a clear view of my contribution.

Founder-led venture
Smart hydroponics connecting sensors, embedded devices, cloud services, and a web interface.
My contribution. I founded the initiative and designed the end-to-end software and data architecture — backend services, REST APIs, sensor-data pipelines, monitoring workflows, and the interfaces on top of them.

Collaborative project with SEM Ltd.
Drone imagery and deep learning for detecting transmission-tower components.
My contribution. As one contributor on a collaborative project with SEM Ltd., I worked on data preparation, model training and evaluation, edge deployment to an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, DJI drone integration, and system-level validation.

Original work on Shopify's Dawn theme
A theme-native build-your-own-bundle experience for Shopify Online Store 2.0.
My contribution. I built a custom bundle product template and section on top of Shopify's Dawn 11 theme, driven by merchant-editable metafields, with validation that prevents incomplete or duplicate bundles.

A multiplayer stock-trading game with live NYSE prices, portfolios, and admin-run games.
My contribution. On a team project for a graduate software course, I delivered GUI improvements, a portfolio performance visualization, a reCAPTCHA login fix, and a new admin game-management page during Sprint 3.

About Me
Most of my work sits between systems: an interface that needs a service, a service that needs clean data, a device that needs both. Across 150+ projects and agencies, startups, tech firms, and freelance work, I've spent as much time tracing integrations as writing features. I've worked with South Asian, European, American, Canadian, and Middle Eastern teams, and spent 2+ years working with local companies in Newfoundland and Labrador.
