About

Background

I'm a full-stack software engineer in Vancouver with nine years on web and mobile products. I recently led architecture for a real-time fuel logistics platform at Scamp Tech (about 120 operators, load assignment about 30% faster). Before that I built satellite imaging and vessel detection tools at MDA Space, and eight internal tools at TEEMA Solutions.

A lot of the work is operational software: nested screens, live data, and APIs that other people have to keep working with.

I'm currently building AI agent systems and workflow tools, including multi-agent setups and Temporal for jobs that have to keep running. Same habits as the production roles. A UI people can follow, and software that does not fall over after a demo.

I take contract and full-time work. Things go better when the problem is specific and the constraints are on the table early.

Experience

Work history

Scamp Tech, MDA Space, and TEEMA Solutions. Real-time ops for about 120 operators, geospatial tools for about 25 analysts, and eight internal tools.
