Engineer by trade,
runner by morning,
barista by necessity.

I'm a software engineer in Burlington, Ontario, and I like building things that genuinely ship — AI developer tools, community platforms, design systems, the occasional demo that makes a room of engineers lean forward. Most of it starts as a scribble after an early run.

Lately that means Vor, an AI code reviewer built on the Claude Agent SDK; a full engagement platform for a running and triathlon club; and a multi-platform design system whose React components render the page you're reading. Before that there were years of open source — React Native plugins, Cordova bridges, Meteor packages — from an era when "hybrid app" was still a fighting word.

Away from the keyboard I'm training for the Chicago Marathon on the trails around Hamilton and Burlington, walking the dogs, and chasing a repeatable nine-bar shot. Five marathons so far — Boston 2026 among them — plus one 99-kilometre day on the trails that I still think about. I write about the science of endurance in the field notes — sleep, fuelling, pacing, and what actually happens inside your head at kilometre thirty-five. The day-to-day training lives on Instagram and TikTok; the field notes are where the science ends up.

I believe in warm, open, honest work: leave the door open, share what you learn, and keep moving. The best ideas tend to arrive somewhere around kilometre ten. For the current answer to "so what are you up to?", there's a now page.
