I am a Front End Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience at various tech companies, currently based in Toronto, Canada.

I am currently working at Square and was previously at Coinbase, Taplytics. I also mentor at Lighthouse Labs: Canada's Leading Coding Bootcamp on the side.

I have professional, hands-on experience mentoring multiple software engineers from interns/co-ops, junior to senior level. Including building a mentorship program.

I have worked on multiple varieties of projects and products. These projects include leading and launching products from 0-1 to beta and full public access. I have experience with front end architecture, improving the performance of a web application, scalability, and reliability, along with improving the efficiency and velocity of a team.

As a mentor, I can help you:
- Attain proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, and React
- Enhance your resume and make it stand out
- Transition your career to software engineering
- Prepare for technical screenings, pair programming, and system design interviews
- Progress in your present job and construct a personal growth strategy
- Improve mastery by code reviewing and working through current projects or take-home assignments
- Create an impressive portfolio with coding expertise

I went to school at Humber College for Computer Programming. I am mostly self-taught in front end technologies learning new skills on the job and in my spare time. I started my career at an advertising agency, and from there I worked at a consultancy, and then multiple startup product companies before transitioning into larger tech companies.

In my free time, I like playing video games, working out, reading, climbing, golfing, and jamming on my guitar.
