Current role
Software developer at The Mad Netter Corp.
Technical range
Cloud-native systems, data models, DevOps, and UI.
About
I custom build applications at The Mad Netter Corp, spanning health-care data systems, medical records sharing, energy operations, and long-running production support. Before software became the center of my work, I spent years in University of Waterloo research labs studying cognition, health, and decision making.
Build systems around real operational constraints, from deployment environments to the people using the workflow every day.
Bring research discipline to product work: clarify assumptions, model data carefully, and make evidence visible.
Treat security, auditability, and access control as product concerns, especially in health-care and sensitive-data systems.
Pair technical architecture with empathy for users, clients, teammates, and the communities software ultimately affects.
Selected work
A focused sample of professional work from custom application development, architecture, delivery, deployment, and ongoing production support.
The Mad Netter Corp
Primary architect for a cloud-native platform that centralizes monitoring, operations, alerts, documents, CRM, and work management for hundreds of solar installations across Canada.
The Mad Netter Corp
Designed and developed a multitenant health-care data platform with RBAC, policy-based data access, application-level encryption, auditing, and horizontally scalable deployment targets.
The Mad Netter Corp
Delivered full-stack features for a medical-image records sharing system, including security model work, domain modelling, and most of the user interface through successful acceptance.
Metriks
Contract development and support for Metriks, helping maintain a data collection and report-generation platform used for specialized physiotherapy assessments.
Approach
My experience spans software delivery, statistical programming, neuropsychology research, and front-line community work. The unifying theme is careful problem solving in messy real-world situations.
01
Define the domain, data access patterns, risks, and user decisions before committing to the interface.
02
Implement full-stack features, security boundaries, deployment workflows, and maintainable interfaces.
03
Keep production systems available, understandable, and ready for the next round of requirements.
Research
I earned a BA in Psychology from the University of Waterloo and spent much of my undergraduate career contributing to research on physical activity, cognitive function, dementia prevention, and decision making.
Research assistant in the Brain and Body Lab at the University of Waterloo from 2016 to 2021.
Primary data analyst on multiple projects using R and Python for statistical modelling, visualization, data cleaning, and imputation.
Published work across cognitive control, exercise, dementia-inclusive exercise, COVID-19 perceptions, sensor data, and decision making.
Recipient of NSERC Undergraduate Research Awards, President’s Research Awards, Psychology Memorial Awards, and Faculty of Arts honours.
Community
My background includes front-line outreach, supportive housing, hospital volunteering, companionship volunteering, and community web work across Waterloo Region. My experience in these roles taught me the value of person and community focused approaches to problem solving. I'm not merely interested in solving technical problems, I'm interested in solving human problems.
The Working Centre
Worked with The Working Centre as an outreach and supportive housing worker, helping community members access resources, connect with social services, and stay safe in high-need environments.
Waterloo Region and Guelph
Volunteered with Grand River Hospital, Luther Village in the Park, and Homewood Health, contributing time in care-adjacent and companionship-focused settings.
Volunteer web design
Supported The Working Centre as a volunteer web designer before starting formal software roles, connecting technical curiosity with local community needs.
