About
Ten years of shipping, mostly for people who’d been burned once already.
I wrote my first production code in Kabul in 2011, building sites for the Afghanistan Supreme Court, the Ministry of Justice and the Independent Human Rights Commission on a US-funded rule-of-law project, then training their publications team to keep them running.
Canada came later. I took a Computer Programmer diploma at Sheridan, graduated with honours in 2018, and spent the next six years in Toronto agencies: SDI Marketing first, then Fuel Media. React and Vue front ends, Laravel and Node services behind them, and the Salesforce automations wired into both.
Since March 2024 I have worked for myself. The same work, with fewer layers between me and the person who actually needs it.
