I design and build software, websites, and the systems behind them.

I take real-world business & operations problems and turn them into clean digital tools people actually want to use — with the discipline of someone who's shipped complex projects on firm deadlines.

// what I build

From a blank page to something people use every day.

I work end to end — designing how it should feel, building the thing itself, and wiring up the systems that keep it running.

Websites & web apps

Modern, fast, responsive sites and applications — designed and coded with care to fit your brand and the way you actually work.

Internal tools & automation

The portals, dashboards, and quiet little tools that take busywork off your plate — built in Python, SQL, and modern web stacks.

Systems & delivery

The operator's edge: I scope it, plan it, and run the build like a project — so what we make ships on time and actually lands.

Recent builds.

Two recent client builds — a global members' platform and a people-ops turnaround.

The Value Web
Platform migration

A member platform they own

Moved a global community off rented software onto a self-owned platform spanning Academy, Assembly & Advocacy.

Ops & tooling

Rebuilding the basics after fast growth

Turned a hard engagement survey into schedules, comms, and digitised workflows a 100-person team could rely on.

Digital Dreamer

My own product — the platform I run my consultancy on. CRM, client portal, invoicing, proposals, and project tools, in one place I own. It's also the clearest proof of what I can design and build from scratch.

// about me

An unusual route to building software.

I'm a self-taught designer and builder — and I got here by way of the lab and the construction site.

My foundation is in life sciences and biochemistry, where I learned to think in systems, evidence, and process. From there I went deep into professional practice and project management in design-build architecture and engineering, delivering complex facilities across Canada's biomedical landscape, including radiopharmaceutical environments, where precision and compliance are not optional.

I've never worked in just one lane. I've sat at the table with scientists, engineers, architects, and operators, and I've shipped real things under real constraints. Now I bring that same rigor to software and the web — building tools that are clear, durable, scalable, and a genuine pleasure to use.
