I am a seasoned computer enthusiast with over 15 years of experience in software development, system operations, and cybersecurity. My technical repertoire includes extensive proficiency in languages such as C, C++, PHP, Python, Node.js, and Go, alongside hands-on experience with frameworks like Laravel and Django.

My passion for technology drives me to continuously expand my skill set and explore new domains. This curiosity has led me to compete in Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions and delve deeply into the fields of security and penetration testing. My home lab is a testament to my dedication, where I constantly experiment, innovate, and refine my expertise.

As an advocate of open-source software, I have contributed to several projects, fostering a spirit of collaboration and knowledge sharing within the tech community. I also have a creative side, designing custom keycaps and PCBs for mechanical keyboards, blending my technical skills with a passion for design.

Whether it's developing robust web applications, securing systems, or exploring the latest in technology, I am always eager to take on new challenges and collaborate with like-minded professionals. Let's connect and innovate together!

Currently, I am the IT Manager at a medium-sized clinic, where I oversee system operations, manage IT infrastructure, and develop on OSCAR. My role involves ensuring seamless SysOps functionality and optimizing IT processes to enhance clinic operations.

Previously, I served as the Lead Software Engineer on various projects for companies in the forestry sector in Ontario. My work encompassed developing robust applications using PHP, Vue, MySQL, Python, Django, and MariaDB. I was responsible for setting up and maintaining both production and development environments, as well as managing code and Git repositories.

In collaboration with Health Sciences North (HSN), I contributed to the development of their web application, ensuring it met high standards of performance and reliability. Additionally, I was the sole engineer for the PRACTISS.ca project, where I handled all aspects of the development lifecycle, from initial design to deployment.

My professional journey reflects a blend of software development expertise and system operations proficiency. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my skills to create efficient, innovative solutions.
