I am a results-driven Tech Leader with a proven ability to lead diverse teams (Development, UI/UX, DevOps, QA) and deliver successful website launches. My expertise spans cloud infrastructure and modern hosting platforms (AWS, GCP, Digital Ocean, Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare), LAMP/MERN stacks, and a strong focus on creating accessible, user-friendly experiences (AODA/WCAG 2.1 compliance) driven by clear System/Software Design Documents (SDD). I am passionate about AI innovation, actively leveraging LLMs, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and AI Agents to build intelligent, production-ready applications.
I have designed and developed over 100 websites and applications from ideation to launch. The portfolio highlights a variety of recent projects, many of which are AI-powered.
