• ​ Implemented and contributed to Koodo and Telus design systems, collaborating with external design system teams to translate complex designs into reusable React components and consistent UI patterns across storefronts.
• Redesigned authentication and session management using Next.js middleware, creating a unified authentication layer that simplified local development and improved request handling.
• Consolidated multiple API integrations into a centralized React Query data layer, establishing predictable data and caching patterns that eliminated race conditions and stabilized critical commerce flows used by thousands of daily users.
• Built automated unit and integration tests using Jest and React Testing Library, increasing confidence in high-risk commerce flows and reducing regression bugs during releases.
• Improved developer workflows with feature flag tooling and automated production-like local environments, reducing rollout bugs and time spent on onboarding and debugging.
• Selected for a high-priority homepage rebrand, leading refinement and mentoring developers to deliver one week ahead of schedule.
• Contributed to frontend architecture decisions including data flow design, state management patterns, and component system structure across large React applications.

Telus E-Verification System (EVS)

• Enhancing Telus’s e-Verification System, improving account upgrade flows across React frontends integrated with Drupal and Contentful.
• Developing custom Drupal modules to manage backend data flows, document verification processes, customer/association records, and offer management logic across multiple integrated systems.
• Leveraging agentic AI development tools to accelerate feature delivery and quickly gain proficiency in the Drupal ecosystem while contributing to production systems.
• Researched and evaluated AI models and prompt engineering strategies for document verification, analyzing accuracy, performance, and reliability, and presented recommendations to stakeholders and clients to guide production rollout.
• Developed an AI-powered auditing system for POE documents, integrating automated scoring into the backend verification platform with both real-time and queued processing workflows.
• Enabled administrators to validate and compare AI-generated scores against manual approvals using searchable and exportable metrics, improving verification reliability and reducing manual review effort.

• Supported instructors at BrainStation by troubleshooting student code and providing real-time guidance during web development courses.
• Delivered live coding walkthroughs of technical problems, explaining debugging strategies, algorithmic thinking, and best practices to a classroom audience.
• Debugged JavaScript and React issues for students, helping them understand errors and apply best practices.
• Provided one-on-one mentorship during labs and workshops to reinforce concepts and improve student confidence.

• Spearheaded the development and execution of a SQL server database remotely on a 3 month deadline, allowing a major exploration drilling program to commence.
• Eliminated inefficiencies by developing and delivering streamlined reporting and automated tracking tools to senior level management.
• Designed and regulated a detailed QAQC monitoring program that reports the precision and accuracy of assay data, complying with NI43-101 quality standards as required by the securities commission.
