Software developer, systems architect, and consultant in Victoria, BC. I help small businesses and non‑profits create their digital presence and employ technology to excel in their industries. Whether that is websites, IT systems, automation, AI, or even hardware solutions.
Client showcase
Businesses I've built for
A mix of small local operators and one ambitious custom platform — same care, different scope.
The Dirty Wiggler
Small Business
A local dog grooming business. I created the website, team Slack (with a customer SMS-to-Slack gateway), setup a VOIP business phone line, and wrote a CMS plugin to handle appointments.
Kit & Caboodle
Small Business
A pre-K kids party business. I created their digital presence: website, team Slack, and Google business profile. I also set up an SMS-to-Slack gateway and e-commerce platform, with extensions to handle rental products and availability.
VI Standard Real Estate Services Inc
Custom Build
End-to-end operations platform built around field service, customer experience, and back-office automation. This was my first foray into building a custom platform and it's been an incredible learning experience. I continue to maintain and build out the feature set.
Pro bono
Free work for select non‑profits.
I take on a small number of non‑profits each year and build their digital presence completely free of charge — same toolkit, zero invoice. If your mission is good and you need help, get in touch.

About
The human behind the keyboard
A bit about me
I spent many years in engineering operations at a large Canadian telecom provider, where I learned firsthand what it takes to keep systems running at scale. Since then I've had a passion for leveraging technology to solve real-world problems.
I believe technology is under utilized in most small businesses, and when harnessed effectively, it can propel growth and free up people to focus on what they do best. When I'm not building things, you can find me on the tennis court, or building something in my backyard. I also love running (or exercise in general) and then rewarding myself with good food.
