Currently, I work on an enterprise-grade loyalty rewards program, supporting Canada’s largest food distributors. My role involves full-stack development with a focus on secure authentication workflows, cloud-native architecture, and scalable, maintainable code. I understand the importance of client satisfaction and collaboration, which guides every step of my work, from technical discovery to implementation and long-term support.

My strong communication skills ensure that clients understand the "why" behind each solution, fostering long-term partnerships and mutual success. I also continually pursue professional growth, having expanded my expertise through platforms like Microsoft Learn and AWS certifications. As well as building all my passion project in Angular. I drew the line in the sand in the Angular vs React debate back in 2018 as I was passionately opposed to meta and facebook. I also saw the power for Angular’s coupling with Google Ads Marketing and proudly poured all my focus in Angular since version 8. I build landing pages for small businesses in Angular and utilise the routes array to extend service-location businesses into hyperdrive. Based in London, Ontario, I am eager to connect with professionals who share a passion for technology, collaboration, and innovation. Let’s collaborate to create transformative digital products that drive real-world success.
