Certifications

Experience

Full Stack Web Developer · Codage Habitation

Internship · Dec 2024 - Jun 2025
  • Reduced average product configuration time by about 65%, to under two minutes, with an XML-driven Node.js and TypeGraphQL engine enforcing 100+ rules.
  • Cut configuration errors by over 50% with Socket.IO validation that disabled invalid option combinations and returned sub-second feedback.
  • Implemented role-based access control, server-side PDF generation, and admin-managed email workflows for the production application.
  • Owned backend debugging, performance profiling, and delivery documentation on a four-person team, with Docker packaging and Vercel deployment.

Web Developer · Reality-Craft

Internship · Jun 2024 - Dec 2024
  • Built 10+ reusable React and TypeScript components for a blog serving 300 to 400 active users.
  • Connected REST APIs to dynamic content views with category and date filters.
  • Resolved layout bugs and adapted the interface across three responsive breakpoints.
  • Contributed 8+ pull requests through the team's Git workflow and documented progress weekly.

Projects

Local RAG App

AI · Full Stack · 2026 · Python, FastAPI, Ollama, ChromaDB, Docker, RAG

I built a document question-answering system that keeps ingestion, retrieval, and generation on your machine. FastAPI, Ollama, and ChromaDB connect PDFs, text, and Markdown to answers with source citations, packaged in a three-service Docker stack.

Legal One

Backend Lead · Production · 2024 · Next.js, Prisma, MongoDB, GraphQL, Apollo, Socket.IO

I led backend development on a two-person team, from the data model to deployment. Role-based access for clients, lawyers, and admins, session-isolated Socket.IO messaging, and a GraphQL API support the consultation workflow.

SW Habitation

Web Developer · 2025 · Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, SEO

I built the website and blog platform for a development studio, with reusable Next.js components and content separated from page layouts. The work covers a growing article library, responsive presentation, performance, and search visibility.

Drug Repurposing

ML · Data Engineering · 2025 · Python, PyTorch, XGBoost, CatBoost, scikit-learn

I integrated DrugBank, CTD, and BioSNAP into 1.2M+ drug and disease pairs, built a 27-feature pipeline, and trained XGBoost and CatBoost rankers. XGBoost reached about 95% Top-5 accuracy in the project's dataset evaluation.

Distributed Hash Sorting

Distributed Systems · Cloud · 2025 · C++, Java, Hadoop, Spark, OpenMP, Chameleon Cloud

I built C++ hash tables with OpenMP and deployed Hadoop and Spark clusters on Chameleon Cloud to sort 64 GB of BLAKE3 records. Spark was about 2x faster for this benchmark workload, with scaling measured through eight nodes.

Chesley Vape

Freelance · 2024 · Next.js, Tailwind CSS, SEO, Responsive Design

I delivered a responsive storefront for a Canadian retail client using Next.js and Tailwind CSS. The project brings together mobile and desktop layouts, search-friendly markup, and page performance work.
