I develop custom software that solves your complex business problems. By designing technical solutions, I optimize the specialized operations that your unique business uses to grow and thrive. I am an experienced business software developer with expertise in web applications, process automation, and complex workflows.
I build applications with Elixir, a modern programming language powered by Erlang, a 30-year-old platform known for concurrency, distribution, and fault tolerance. I advocate for the Elixir programming language through the Montreal Elixir group, a local meetup which I co-founded.
Event storming, Story mapping, and Business Event Analysis and Modeling are some tools I have adopted to clarify business processes and ensure software development efforts are focused on solving the right problem.
