At RE/MAX Escarpment & Niagara, I took ownership of four production applications after the transition away from Operatic and migrated them to RE/MAX-owned environments. I also added third-party AI listing search to remaxescarpment.com, including the frontend and API integration.

At Operatic Agency, I rebuilt RE/MAX Escarpment & Niagara's website as a Next.js frontend backed by a Rails API, and rebuilt Realintro with a three-developer team. At Postmedia Network, I rebuilt The Province, National Post, and Financial Post on WordPress, creating themes and custom plugins for editorial teams.
