Software, research, and public-interest systems
I build tools for health information, service access, archival continuity, and research communication. My background combines software development, academic research, teaching, and publishing.
About
I do my best work on problems where software, data, and explanation have to hold together.
Before moving into software full-time, I worked in philosophy, teaching, research support, and academic publishing. That background gave me a high tolerance for ambiguity, a low tolerance for sloppy reasoning, and a lasting interest in careful communication.
The work I take on now usually sits in health, public-interest, and research-heavy settings. It tends to involve messy source material, real workflow constraints, and users who need clarity more than spectacle.
Founder and Developer
Building a live observatory for Canadian emergency department wait times, including province-level data pipelines, measurement tagging, and public explanations of why many cross-province comparisons are not methodologically equivalent.
Founder and Developer
Building a visit-preparation tool that helps patients and caregivers turn complex histories into concise one-page briefs while staying outside diagnosis, triage, and treatment advice.
Founder and Developer
Building public-interest platforms for verified service discovery and long-term preservation of health information, with emphasis on governance, accessibility, and continuity.
Software Developer
Contributing web development, search, and infrastructure work that improves access to archived CDC public-health material.
Independent Software Developer
Worked full-time as an independent developer building an end-to-end investment platform with real-time analytics, rules-based execution, backtesting, and risk controls.
Teaching Assistant, Research Support, and Publishing Work
Taught undergraduate courses, supported research and conference operations, and worked in academic publishing and writing support. That experience still shapes how I handle communication-heavy technical work.
Selected Work
These projects best represent how I work: end-to-end ownership, careful boundaries, and systems that stay legible to the people who depend on them.
In active development
01A live observatory that audits how Canadian emergency department wait times are measured and compared.
Current dataset covers 390-plus hospital records across 4 provinces.
Pilot-stage product build
02A visit-preparation tool that turns complex patient and caregiver information into concise clinician-ready briefs.
Pilot-stage public-interest platform
03A verified service-search platform for food, housing, crisis, health, legal, and related supports.
Initial dataset covers 196 hand-verified Kingston services.
Ongoing archival project
04A public-health archive focused on durable access to guidance, data, and historical snapshots.
Contributor
05Development and restoration work supporting continuity of access to archived CDC material.
Research & Communication
Alongside software projects, I work on publication, conference presentation, and applied teaching. That experience shows up directly in how I scope products, explain tradeoffs, and translate complex material for real users.
2026 · Accepted publication, Canadian Journal of General Internal Medicine
Co-authored a medico-legal review on withholding CPR in Canada, synthesizing case law and medical-college policies into a practical account of the standard of care.
2025 · Canadian Conference on Physician Health
Prepared and delivered a conference presentation in Vancouver translating the same research into a medicine-facing oral presentation.
2025 · Presenter, St. John Ambulance training context
Researched and delivered a two-hour teaching session on 50-plus medical devices, focused on recognition and responder interaction.
