With 25 years of experience in web development combined with a love for teaching, I'm passionate about assisting dev teams overwhelmed by outdated legacy systems, poor performance, and scalability issues.

I live in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, with my German wife and our 8-year-old son. I enjoy traveling and playing nintendo. My special interests right now are chess, neurodivergence, and decluttering.
