Senior Software Developer — Backend & Cloud Services
Feb 2026 — PresentGenesys Calgary, AB (Remote)
- Led architecture and technical design for AWS Lambda-based forecasting services supporting enterprise workforce management customers, balancing scalability, cost efficiency, and operational reliability across critical forecasting workloads.
- Helped lead migration of forecasting services from Clojure/EC2 to Java Lambda, enabling support for workloads of 1,000+ planning groups while improving scalability, operational simplicity, and cloud resource efficiency.
- Reduced production troubleshooting time by implementing OpenTelemetry instrumentation, New Relic dashboards, Sumo Logic alerting, and documented response playbooks for critical forecasting services.
- Improved maintainability and service quality by driving code review standards, testing expectations, architectural guidelines, and technical documentation across Java Lambda services.
- Designed and delivered an AWS Batch-based diagnostics platform now used for internal forecasting troubleshooting, presenting the solution to engineering leadership and product stakeholders while establishing a foundation for future customer self-service diagnostics.
- Mentored engineers across backend, frontend, QA, and cloud infrastructure disciplines while providing architectural guidance, accelerating onboarding, and improving cross-functional delivery effectiveness.
- Served as technical lead for multiple initiatives, owning architecture and solution design, breaking down workstreams, guiding implementation across engineers, and driving alignment with product and frontend stakeholders.
- Accelerated design and implementation of backend services through AI-assisted architecture exploration, code generation, debugging, and documentation workflows.
Software Developer — Backend & Cloud Services
Feb 2023 — Feb 2026Genesys Calgary, AB (Remote)
- Created reusable Java and Node.js Lambda frameworks that reduced implementation overhead, standardized service architecture, and accelerated development across engineering teams.
- Improved service reliability and incident response through enhanced error handling, DLQ diagnostics, MDC-based structured logging, CloudWatch alerting, and production troubleshooting tooling.
- Solved large-scale processing and memory bottlenecks through limit and scale testing, consistently designing and validating services at or above target thresholds for time and memory-constrained Lambda workloads.
- Led Java 17 and AWS SDK v2 migrations using phased production rollouts, minimizing deployment risk while modernizing critical services.
Software Developer in Test
Mar 2022 — Feb 2023Genesys Calgary, AB (Remote)
- Developed and maintained automated frontend and API testing frameworks, improving release quality and reducing regression risk.

Founding Engineer
Sept 2025 — PresentPlanePicks Inc. Calgary, AB (Remote)
- Shipped AI-assisted aircraft listing generation, market research, and document workflows to production by integrating xAI (Grok) into asynchronous Lambda pipelines with structured output validation, prompt engineering, and automated quality controls.
- Took a serverless aircraft marketplace from concept to production by architecting and provisioning a full AWS platform using Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, SQS, S3, CloudFront, and CloudFormation.
- Designed event-driven processing pipelines for image optimization, document generation, AI inference, and notifications using SQS-backed asynchronous workflows.
- Secured multi-role access for buyers, brokers, and administrators through JWT refresh rotation, Google OAuth, server-side token revocation, and API rate limiting.
- Delivered a complete buyer-to-close marketplace experience using Vue 3 and TypeScript, including search, map-based discovery, messaging, media uploads, offers, and PDF purchase agreements.
- Enabled white-label brokerage operations through multi-tenant architecture, branded portals, team management, client tracking, deal pipelines, and CMS-style content management.
- Established CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, linting, infrastructure deployment, and frontend releases to reduce deployment risk and operational overhead.
Junior Software Developer in Test
May 2021 — Mar 2022Absorb Software Calgary, AB
- Built and maintained Cypress-based end-to-end and API automation for a multi-product SaaS platform, developing foundational experience in software engineering, testing, and cross-functional collaboration.
