Since 1999
Builder.
I've been building things online since 1999. Corus, Bell, Telus International, Toronto Public Library, and a long list of agencies and small businesses in between. What I do now is take everything I've learned in 27 years of shipping and wire it into managed platforms that one person can run but that work like a team of five.
Built on 27 years of shipping¶
I shipped DisneyChannel.ca and GlobalTV.ca features at Corus in 2019. Built Toronto Public Library's Elasticsearch-backed catalog search in 2025. Shipped a production chatbot MVP at Choony in 2023. Led portal migrations at Telus International. The full timeline is below — every role, every stack, every year.
What started as freelance Flash work in 1999 became a solo practice, which became a platform. Today I build managed digital operations for small businesses and agencies — website, email, CRM, content, booking, automation — as one connected system I maintain myself. Clients get agency output without agency overhead.
