I build engineering teams and systems that survive scale.

Now

As CTO of LiORA I'm building the first Environmental Intelligence Platform. It's proper deep tech: software developed hand in hand with science teams and hardware, where the platform is only as trustworthy as the measurements underneath it.

The exit

At Humi I grew engineering from a scrappy team into the organization behind Canada's leading employment platform — payroll is the kind of software where a rounding error is somebody's rent. That discipline carried the company through to its $140M+ CAD acquisition by Employment Hero.

Regulated systems

I've been writing software professionally since 2007 — much of it in fintech, payroll, and compliance-heavy domains, with Elixir as the backbone for most of the last decade. I care about systems that stay correct under load, under audit, and under staff turnover.

Author

I wrote two books for Packt — the Magento PHP Developer's Guide and Test Driven Magento Extension Development — and have published 37 articles with AppSignal, Sauce Labs, Fiberplane, and others.

Builder

Outside of the day job I build my own products and projects. One of them, Siteguardian.dev — an SSL and domain monitoring service — was built, grown, and sold in a five-figure micro-acquisition.
