Builder of Real Systems

Full-Stack Developer and AI Systems Architect with 20+ years of experience. I specialize in AI-augmented application development, agentic workflow design, and operational application engineering.

I build systems that actually work in the real world - from backend architecture through to polished, production-grade user interfaces. No vaporware. No overengineered proofs of concept. Just software that businesses run on every day.

Based in Edmonton, AB. Available for projects ranging from single-feature integrations to full platform builds.

QR codeTenant formLLM triageManagers notified

Property management platform for a multi-building rental portfolio. Each building exposes a QR code that opens a tenant message form; an n8n + LLM workflow categorizes the message, summarizes it, and dispatches notifications to every property, maintenance, and security manager whose responsibility the issue touches - one of my flagship n8n AI routing pipelines. Built on .NET 8 Razor Pages with an MSSQL backend.

Architecture to Infrastructure

Most engineers own one layer. I design the platform, write the code, and run the servers it lives on, so the pieces fit and nothing is lost in hand-offs.

01SaaS & Platform Architecture

Multi-tenant platforms built to grow

Tenant-isolated data, role-based access and feature flags that let one codebase serve many customers safely. Client portals with per-customer configuration and admin controls, and APIs defined by OpenAPI contracts from day one.
