30 years of tinkering. Finally getting paid for it.
Army mechanic. Running brand tech rep. Self-taught since the Amiga 500. I've spent my whole life learning things fast and figuring out how stuff works. Now I build software — web apps, integrations, the unsexy infrastructure that keeps businesses running.
I got my first computer at 5. By 14, I was studying IT at a technical college. By 17, I had a university offer before I'd finished high school.
I dropped out. Too much theory, not enough building.
So I built things anyway — just not software. I fixed vehicles in the Australian Army. I repped the fastest-growing running brand in Western Canada. I worked a dozen jobs that taught me how to learn anything, fast.
When my wife got pregnant with our first, I bet on myself. Turns out the kid who kept breaking his dad's computer could actually ship code for a living.
I don't specialize. I solve problems. Whether that's React, Salesforce, AI tools, or something I'll learn next week.
Lightweight CRM built for nonprofits who want real donor relationships, not automation funnels. Guided touchpoints prompt staff to reach out at the right moments — birthdays, anniversaries, follow-ups. I own the full stack: architecture, infrastructure, and shipping features. Anti-AI-slop by design.
Sales intelligence platform for healthcare. AI-powered research tools that help medical device sales teams find the right prospects faster. I work across the landing site, web app, and own the Salesforce integration.
Hired into a new role mid-Salesforce migration. Ended up owning Salesforce admin, dev, and automation — plus Shopify, Pardot, and FormAssembly. Worked closely with donor relations to improve retention: 40% fewer lost monthly donors over 2 years. Built a formal data management plan that still guides the org today.
Helped rebrand Vancouver Running Company into a global run membership powered by NFTs. Coordinated brand activations at On's NYC flagship during NFT.NYC and a Vancouver event with custom RFID-tagged shoes that triggered NFT animations on scan. Also shipped frontend work.
Gamified heart health app with pixel-art style and deep progression systems. Started as PM, grew into leading dev and product. Cut deployment time from weeks to under 10 minutes via TestFlight by building out proper test suites and CI automation. Shipped to the App Store.
How five days of collaboration with an AI agent helped me ditch fake consultant branding and ship an authentic personal site.
First post. Why I'm writing, what to expect, and a bit about how this site came together.
What's been in rotation lately. Not a brag list — just what I've actually shipped with recently.
Got something to build? I'm probably available.
