Experience

Full Stack Web Developer · Codage Habitation

Internship · Dec 2024 - Jun 2025

Designed a rule-based configuration engine in Node.js and TypeGraphQL that cut product configuration time dramatically for client-facing workflows.
Built real-time validation over Socket.IO that caught invalid option combinations as users clicked, before submission.
Shipped production features end to end: role-based access control, server-side PDF generation, and admin-managed email workflows.
Containerized and deployed with Docker and Vercel, owning debugging, performance profiling, and documentation across a cross-functional team.

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.
Integrated REST APIs for dynamic content with category and date-based filtering.
Fixed layout-breaking bugs and hardened responsiveness across three breakpoints.
Delivered through an agile Git workflow: 8+ pull requests and weekly documentation.

Projects

Local RAG App

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

A fully offline retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system. Upload PDFs, text, or Markdown and ask questions in natural language with nothing leaving the machine: a local LLM and embeddings through Ollama, semantic search over ChromaDB, and grounded answers with source citations in about half a second.

Legal One

Solo Build · Production · 2024 · Next.js, Prisma, MongoDB, GraphQL, Apollo, Socket.IO

A real-time legal consultation platform I built and shipped solo, from data model to live deployment. Encrypted messaging over Socket.IO, role-based access for three user types, and GraphQL resolvers tuned for fast search.

SW Habitation

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

The production website and blog platform for a development studio. Reusable components, a content system that scales as the library grows, and performance work that shows up in the numbers.

Drug Repurposing

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

Machine learning research ranking drug and disease associations across large biomedical datasets. I engineered the feature pipelines, trained gradient-boosted rankers (XGBoost, CatBoost, LightGBM) and PyTorch nets, and validated with Top-K metrics.

Distributed Hash Sorting

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

A big-data systems study: parallel hash tables in C++, Hadoop and Spark clusters deployed on Chameleon Cloud, and rigorous benchmarks on which framework sorts faster at scale.

Chesley Vape

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

A responsive storefront for a Canadian retail brand. Clean design, tight SEO, and load times that keep people browsing instead of waiting.
