CanadaWhat I'm looking for
At X Growth Engine, I designed, built, and launched an AI tool for X/Twitter growth solo, combining full-stack development, LLM integration, and self-hosted infrastructure. I also run its distribution through an SEO content pipeline, directory launches, and regular publishing.
At Tom Turcotte Developments, I built full-stack web applications for 130+ clients and delivered 1,000+ one-on-one mentoring sessions across AI/LLM application development, debugging, system design, and career transitions. I also built AI workflows and automation for client work and internal products.
At Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, I developed a Java GUI application connected to a legacy system, cutting an administration workflow from 20+ minutes to under 20 seconds. Earlier, during my OLG information security work placement, I automated log retrieval and review, eliminating a daily one-hour task for senior engineers.
