I took a non-traditional path into software. Before tech, I spent over a decade in industrial roofing and earned my Level 1 Automotive Technician certification with honors.
Those early roles gave me a practical, analytical mindset I still bring to development today.
I hold a B.Sc. in Computer Science (with a Minor in Philosophy) from the University of Manitoba.
My industry experience covers frontend, backend, and data work at companies like:
- Wawanesa Insurance
- iQmetrix
- LibreStream
- QDoc
- Activate Games
Outside of industry, I build things for fun—from Unity games to World of Warcraft add-ons.
Today, I'm a Post-Secondary Instructor at the Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology, where I design scenario-based assignments, build and debug demo applications, and help students hit real-world expectations.
I’m also part of the team leading a full program redesign, working with industry to modernize the curriculum.
My goal—whether coding or teaching—is always the same:
build things that are practical, ethical, and impactful.
I’m motivated by helping people grow.
Watching a student go from “I don’t get this” to shipping their first working feature is one of the most rewarding experiences in the world.
I care a lot about thoughtful engineering, clever problem-solving, and building tools that make life easier. I’m always learning, improving, and trying to write code—and teach in a way—that genuinely helps people.
Other Experience:
Curriculum development, backend architecture, asynchronous programming, debugging, design patterns, and working closely with industry partners to align education with real job expectations.
