I'm a full stack developer who builds products from the database to the interface. I've spent four years on a small product team shipping the Python back end, the React front end and the cloud setup behind a customer feedback platform for enterprises. On the side I make games, websites and independent films.

About
Software, games and film.
I build software for a living, from the database to the interface. Outside of work I design puzzle games, build websites for local film projects, and make independent films with a Toronto production group. I like working closely with designers, and I care about the details that make something feel finished.
