Certifications 10+ Professional
Status Open to Work

Technology is the closest thing to magic we have. That belief has driven every decision in my career, from earning an Electrical Engineering degree, to completing a Computer Programming diploma at Seneca College, to now pursuing both a Master's in Cybersecurity and AWS Solutions Architect certification. I'm not chasing titles. I'm chasing understanding.

Over ten years, I've built across every layer of the stack: hardware installations across three continents, backend systems processing vaccination data for millions, mobile apps on iOS and Android, cloud architectures on AWS and Firebase, and security frameworks protecting healthcare providers. Each project taught me something new about how the pieces connect.

My approach is holistic. I invest in formal education, but also in personal projects that push my boundaries, seminars that expose me to emerging ideas, and teaching others because explaining technology deepens my own understanding. Whether I'm optimizing Salesforce for 10,000+ users during a pandemic or architecting GDPR/HIPAA compliant systems, I bring the same curiosity.

Beyond the keyboard, I'm a self-published author exploring technology's impact on youth, a photographer finding poetry in urban landscapes, and a healthcare volunteer who provided frontline support for 500+ cases. These pursuits aren't separate from my technical work. They inform it.

I don't believe in labels like "cybersecurity person" or "frontend developer." I believe in understanding systems deeply enough to build them, break them, and make them better. That's the magic I'm after.
