about

I am an AWS Solutions Architect and developer based in Toronto I specialize in bridging the gap between complex cloud infrastructure and intuitive user experiences.

engineering & development

I focus on building bespoke tools that automate critical business workflows. As the Lead Developer at The Green Bouquet, I architected a custom Node.js and React solution that interfaces with ecommerce APIs to automatically generate and format paper menus, eliminating regular hours of manual data entry.

Recently, I developed a full-stack Email Marketing Administration Panel using React, AWS Lambda, and AWS SES. The system features a visual template editor, automated contact list management, and secure campaign dispatching capabilities.

web operations & infrastructure

My background includes extensive freelance experience managing the full lifecycle of web presence. I have deployed and hosted secure WordPress environments for local businesses, managing server backend operations and implementing technical SEO strategies to improve search rankings and drive engagement.

the laboratory

I am deeply invested in free software. I live in Emacs and spend my free time refining my environment and tinkering with tools.

Beyond maintaining my own GNU Linux and Emacs configurations, I am an active contributor to the software I use daily. I have authored patches that were accepted into the Linux Kernel and GNU Emacs, helping to improve stability and functionality for the wider community.
