**I am a freelance software developer, a clinical counsellor and a mentor in one.** **As a software developer,** I do contract work through my Vancouver-based company Qubiq Interactive ([https://www.qubiqinteractive.ca](https://www.qubiqinteractive.ca/)). My main focus in on custom-built applications that require a unique engineering approach, although I have extensive experience with working on more traditional consumer apps and websites as well. I am especially passionate about agent-based modeling and games development. **As a tech counsellor** at my private practice Treerock Therapy ([https://www.treerocktherapy.ca](https://www.treerocktherapy.ca/)), I provide career counselling to individuals and team mental health consulting to tech companies. My mission is to facilitate transformation of burnout, anxiety and depression into self-actualization in my clients. I started my career in the engineering industry in 2009 and received a PhD in Simulation of Complex Systems from the University of Southampton, United Kingdom in 2017. I have developed autonomous robot simulations, distributed data processing systems, games and websites. I trained and mentored junior programmers, led development teams and maintained strong relationships with clients. I taught software development at higher education institutions in Europe and in Canada.

Senior Full Stack Software Engineer with experience (and an MSc) in AI/ML. A self-starter with a passion for tackling complex problems and empowering others to tackle them too. Experienced in all forms of development, mentoring and leading teams, I have many years of experience in growing and scaling early stage startups (with some success stories too!). I was a key member in growing Pointy from Series A to its acquisition by Google for $160 million, and a pivotal member in growing Nory as the second engineer, from pre-seed to a +$45 million evaluation. I have thrived in many scenarios, some with high levels of complexity and ambiguity. I can happily contribute to existing code or greenfield projects, and I'm passionate about applying solid software development principles to AI & ML problems. I have expertise in AWS & GCP, Python backends (with a preference for Starlette, FastAPI, and Django frameworks) and React, TypeScript, Redux frontends. A wealth of experience with containerisation and orchestration tools, CI/CD tools, and a broad range of DBs. Capable and eager to learn new stacks though!
