## About

```text
At March Networks, I automated Black Duck report generation and formatting in Python, reducing manual compliance review for legal and R&D teams by about 80%. I also built a tool that compared release components, versions, and license IDs, surfacing medium- and high-risk licenses for legal sign-off.

At the University of Ottawa, I built a Python script to cross-reference group members and flag discrepancies in meeting distribution lists. I also reviewed architecture documents and coordinated governance review sessions.

In my Go API Gateway project, I built Redis-backed rate limiting enforced with Lua scripts, circuit breakers, and per-route metrics. It sustained 13.7k requests per second in k6 load tests and was deployed on Render.

My projects include a RAG pipeline evaluated against live Canadian job postings, a full-stack gym progression tracker, and a semantic caching layer for LLM APIs. I graduated Cum Laude from the University of Ottawa with an Honours BSc in Computer Science, and I'm interested in what it takes to keep services reliable in production.
