/about

Both sides of the system

I'm a developer in Toronto with an Advanced Diploma in Software Development and Network Engineering from Sheridan College. I like building things people actually use, then sticking around to keep them working.

I'm the founder and lead developer of CodeIt, a coding platform for kids with paid family plans, and I run LYNQ, building websites and automation for small businesses in Toronto and Amman.

I also do IT support. At a kids coding school I'm the only tech person, so every account, device and connection problem comes to me.

That mix means I see a problem from the server behind it and from the person calling about it. It makes me a better developer and a calmer support person.

Things I built and run

CodeIt

A browser coding studio for kids aged 8 to 14. A kid describes a game or website, AI builds a first version, and then they learn by editing the real code.

3Claude model tiers, picked per build

Problem: Kids who outgrow block coding hit a wall with real code. Blank editors are scary, and tutorials don't let them build what they actually want.
Build: React front end with an in-browser code editor, a Node.js and Express API with JWT auth, and PostgreSQL on Supabase, deployed on Vercel. The AI builder runs on the Claude API across three model tiers chosen by how hard each build is, so simple pages stay cheap and harder games get the stronger model.
Running it: Paid family plans through Stripe with plan limits, next to a free plan. The backend is covered by automated tests. During development I moved the data layer from Azure SQL to MySQL on AWS RDS and then to PostgreSQL.

LYNQ

A web and AI automation studio for small businesses in Toronto and Amman. I take each project from the first call to deployment, and stay on for fixes after launch.

Off spreadsheets: Moved a manufacturing client onto an internal system on Microsoft Azure and migrated their Excel records into Azure SQL. It's in daily use.
Lead pipeline: A Node.js pipeline that collects business data, scores prospects by the quality of their website, and routes qualified leads automatically.
