Software Development Manager

I teach NodeJS as part of a full-stack web development bootcamp. I have been using Node, Express, SocketIO and various database and API plugins to build web applications for the past 6 years.

I've been using SQL ever since I started web development with MySQL. I've done projects with MySQL, Postgres and Oracle. I also teach SQL as part of a web development bootcamp.

I can help you both with data modeling and SQL queries.

I teach ReactJS as part of a full-stack web development bootcamp in Montreal. In addition to teaching React, I have been using it for freelance work. I've built a few CMS applications, as well as universal applications with server rendering.

I teach JavaScript as part of a full-stack web development bootcamp in Montreal. Prior to teaching it, I've used JavaScript for back-end and front-end web development, as well as to control robots and get various information from real-world sensors.

I teach HTML and CSS as part of a full-stack web development bootcamp. I started learning HTML 15 years ago and wrote my first HTML course 3 years after.

I use MySQL as part of a few high traffic projects. I also teach MySQL as part of a web development bootcamp. I can help you model data, create proper indexes and optimize your queries. I can also help you make sense of queries or tables that others have created, and give you advice on your current setup.

I used Firebase Database to build a real-time interactive HTML5 game. I also used Firebase Database, Authentication and Security to build an interactive stats dashboard.


I've worked with three different projects involving TypeScript, including one where we added TypeScript well after the project was started. I've used TypeScript enough to be aware of both its benefits, as well as some of the pitfalls associated with its usage. My Java background made it easy to quickly get started with TypeScript, already being familiar with its concepts, and my years of JavaScript experience and general software development experience make it easy to rapidly evolve my TypeScript knowledge and adapt to new use cases.
