I'm a full-stack engineer with more than 15 years of professional experience. I'm a true polyglot developer, having lead/architectural experience with a wide variety of tech stacks, from Python/Django, Ruby on Rails, Node (express.js/koa) on the backend, to Angular.js, React and Ember.js on the frontend.
I spent 7 years in the animation industry as a Web Software Architect, building internal applications to help studios manage their production pipelines. Since leaving that industry, I've been consulting mostly with start-ups to help turn their MVP into a solid foundation and scale their tech to a fully fleshed out product.
For the last four years, I've been CTO of a Toronto, Canada based start-up. I helped them scale their tech stack from a single product offering in select Canadian cities to multiple product offerings available nationally across Canada. I built and managed a fully remote, globally distributed team of engineers through new product development and launch, and I also worked closely with the biz and product teams on designing new products and scoping requirements while prioritizing speed to market.
