CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Software Engineer and Developer with experience across full-stack application development, systems architecture, and DevOps workflows. I’ve focused on designing reliable software solutions and accelerating release cycles through CI/CD pipeline automation, while keeping quality high through rigorous code reviews and best-practice coding paradigms.
At the University of Ottawa, I engineered and maintained high-performance frontend interfaces and scalable backend logic. I orchestrated upgrade and continuous deployment of a prominent web publishing platform to improve uptime and processing speed, and I executed zero-downtime migrations of 30+ web applications and associated SQL databases across Linux server environments.
Earlier, I built customized Microsoft Dynamics CRM features and integrated workflows and Power Automate, writing core plugins and complex JavaScript functions to meet specialized business requirements. In my co-op role, I programmed an automated VBA data scraping tool that eliminated manual bottlenecks and drove a 50% efficiency gain, along with Dynamics CRM customization and clear technical documentation.
