His work blends backend optimization (Postgres, Redis, RabbitMQ, AWS) with applied ML (vision model fine-tuning, CLIP, LLMs) to deliver measurable business impact such as a 30% lift in conversions and $200k+ annual vendor cost savings. Comfortable across the stack, he also automates data pipelines and led initiatives that cut dashboard load times from 20s to 1s and reduced ad-creation time by half. A Queen’s alum with a pragmatic, results-driven approach, he pairs data-informed engineering with a knack for shipping efficient, scalable features.
