About

I'm a developer and designer based in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, dedicated to crafting immersive digital experiences. My work bridges the gap between creative code and functional design, focusing on performance, interaction, and clean aesthetics. I work directly with founders and teams: no hand-offs, no middlemen, fast iteration from first call to launch. Every site is handcrafted with custom design and custom code, built to feel like yours and no one else's. Alongside my own practice I run Automatq, an agency delivering productized web and AI automation services for businesses. I work with clients across Canada and internationally.

I like building things

I've designed and developed websites, applications, and digital experiences for businesses across a range of industries. Here's a look at what I've built.

Idcibidci

A trade-facing site for an Icelandic ground operator selling ready-made tour programmes to agencies and planners. Each itinerary gets a full page — day-by-day route, driving distances, highlights and an interactive regional map — so a partner can price and sell a departure without a single email back and forth.

Interactive Maps
Brilliant Minds Montessori

A warm, photography-led site for a licensed Montessori centre running two Mississauga locations. Toddler and preschool programs, hours and contact details for each centre are split cleanly so a parent lands on the one nearest them and enquires in a couple of taps.

Responsive Design
Building Blocks Nursery School

A playful marketing site for a licensed Brampton nursery school, built around one action: book a tour. The logo's alphabet blocks drive the whole identity, and the fee, subsidy and handbook questions parents used to phone in about all live on their own pages.

AVS Machine & Tool

A site with some shop floor grit for a family-owned Waterloo precision machining shop running since 1986. Five service lines, real capability numbers and shop-floor photography carry the credibility, with a quote request as the single call to action.

Custom UI Components
ROCA Technologies

A studio site for a one-person software product studio in Kitchener, built as a long-form scrolling case study for its flagship product, SAVX — a Canadian grocery savings app. Scroll-driven animation carries the narrative from the problem through the AI pipeline to pricing, without the page ever feeling like a deck.

Zoltan Builds

A lead-generation site for a general contractor across Guelph, Kitchener-Waterloo and the GTA, built around a three-step quote flow: name and number, then the job and a few photos, then an estimate in 24 hours. Every service area gets a local page written for that market, and the business facts are published as an llms.txt and agent card so AI assistants answer from the source.
