I'm a software developer based in Toronto. For the past seven years I've been building secure government systems, from wildfire emergency response in the Yukon to public services used by millions of Canadians.
These days I work on the replacement of Canada's national Social Insurance Registry, where I focus on the backend: Java and Spring Boot, and the Azure infrastructure underneath.
I work on the backend of the replacement of Canada's Social Insurance Number registry. Decades of legacy behaviour have to move to a new platform without anyone noticing, and privacy has to hold at every step.
A canada.ca tool that helps seniors estimate their retirement benefits. I built much of the calculation engine, including the scenario modelling that lets users compare what they'd receive at different retirement ages and life milestones.
The application Yukon's emergency managers used through wildfire season to decide how to stage crews and equipment, when to request outside support, and when to escalate public alerting.
I've been at Service Canada since 2021, working on systems like the Social Insurance Registry replacement and the Old Age Benefits Estimator. Before that I built emergency-management software for the Government of Yukon, where I'd first spent a few seasons as a wildland firefighter.
Day to day I work in Java and Spring Boot on Azure, with TypeScript and React when a project calls for it. Security and privacy run through most of what I build.
