Senior full-stack developer with a degree in graphic design, specializing in helping teams deliver beautiful, accessible, and performant web products.
As a freelance designer and developer living in Montréal, I've built a career spanning more than eight years by helping startups across the world bring software products to market.
I enjoy working in hybrid design/engineering roles, as they allow me to tackle problems holistically. With a keen eye for aesthetics and usability, I strive to deliver a superior product through an iterative process grounded in user feedback.
Away from the computer, you’ll likely find me woodworking, rock climbing, or playing board games with friends.
