About Me: Full Stack Developer (3 YoE) with a heavy emphasis on React/Next.js and mobile (React Native). That includes experience at startups and a well established company. In addition to that I also have around 2 years of game development experience in Unity and Unreal Engine.

I'm actively seeking full-time roles and open to part-time. Based in Canada (EST). Open to $CAD rates—ideal for US teams to maximize budget with a good timezone overlap.

About Me: I'm a full stack developer, leaning towards the front end, with 3+ years of web dev experience plus some mobile experience. I also have some game dev experience in Unity and Unreal Engine. Along with having experience in the technologies listed above, I've recently been learning Three.js and D3. I'm actively seeking full-time or part-time opportunities, plus I have experience in both established companies and early-stage startups. Even if it's for an early stage startup I'm flexible with discussing a reasonable hourly salary.

I'm open to a lot of different industries, and some areas that I'm particularly interested in developing for include health care, travel, hospitality, ed tech, clean tech, game dev, and anything VR or AR related.
