The story
I came up through full-stack web and backend work: the kind where you own the code from the database schema to the deploy. Over the last few years the bulk of that work has shifted toward AI and automation, because the gap between "businesses with real problems" and "AI tools that actually solve them" is wide and gets wider every month.
The work is hands-on. I write the code, build the workflows, run the projects. No account managers. No offshore delivery. You talk to the person doing the work.
Local matters. Most clients are within a couple hours of Camrose. The ones that aren't get the same treatment: direct contact, fast turnaround, no time-zone games.
What I work with
Node.js, Python, n8n, modern AI APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude), vector databases, Telnyx AI Assistants for voice, Railway and Render for hosting, plenty of custom scraping and data work. Comfortable in the messy middle where business problems and technical solutions meet.
Outside of work
Family in Camrose, time outdoors, and a constant rotation of side projects that keep the production stack sharp.
