I build software, data systems, and analytical tools for problems that don’t have an off-the-shelf solution.
From an initial idea to a working product, I handle the engineering, modeling, and implementation. No unnecessary complexity. No elaborate strategy decks that never turn into software.
I like getting close to the hardware, running models locally, and building systems that don’t depend on someone else’s cloud. But the right tool is always the one that solves the problem.
Defined problems, working solutions.
Test an idea before committing.
Development, research, and technical advisory.
Tell me what’s taking too long, costing too much, or not working properly.
I’ll help figure out whether software can solve it.

I am a data scientist and software developer with 6+ years of experience building decision tools for energy, maritime, and finance. I specialize in Python, machine learning, time series, and modern web stacks that make insights measurable and repeatable.
I studied Physics and Computer Science at Dalhousie University. Professionally, I lead and ship analytics at GIT Coatings, where I went from Data Scientist to Vessel Analytics and Software Lead to Data Science Lead, and now run the company's digital and data function as Head of Digital & Data. My work spans data infrastructure, forecasting, model validation, and productizing analytics for internal teams and clients.
Outside of tech, I play squash, manage and invest in real estate, and work in the garden, spending hundreds of dollars and days of my summer producing strawberries I could have bought from the grocery store for $4.
Build tools around real workflows and decisions.
Define success metrics, test against reality, iterate.
Optimize for speed, robustness, and traceability.
Clear visuals, keyboard-friendly, readable at a glance.
Automate checks, document assumptions, keep data lineage.
