I build secure AI, fintech, and commerce platforms at scale.

At Shopify, I advance merchant-facing AI capabilities for Shopify Sidekick and Shopify Magic, building React and TypeScript experiences for streaming conversations, contextual insights, action previews, and human-approved workflows.

I've architected Ruby on Rails, Node.js, Go, and GraphQL services that securely connect AI agents to commerce data, while building Python and FastAPI RAG services with Pinecone and Vertex AI. My work improved p95 response latency by approximately 30% during peak traffic and supports evaluation, safety monitoring, and model-regression detection.

At Wealthsimple, I led full-stack delivery for self-directed investing, including USD accounts, cryptocurrency workflows, trading, funding, and audit-ready financial services. I partnered closely with product, compliance, risk, security, and platform teams to deliver reliable customer experiences.

Earlier at YANGAROO, I modernized its Digital Media Distribution System by incrementally migrating AngularJS workflows to React and TypeScript and separating PHP/Laravel functionality into REST and JSON APIs. I enjoy shaping technical direction through system design, architecture reviews, incident retrospectives, and mentoring engineers.
