Here you will find my portfolio and a little about me...
I currently live in middle of nowhere Manitoba, Canada
You can email me at:
In 2006 I graduated from Southern Alberta Institute of Technology with a Diploma in Computer Technology.
My career really began when I started at a private school, Crofton House, where I worked in a multi-hat IT position
for ten years. Most of what I did was write scripts (C#, html/js, batch, & bash), troubleshoot and repair computers. Both Apple and Windows PCs.
My other duties included everything from tech support to server management to scripting and programming.
In 2017 I gave away most everything and sold my condo before throwing my mum and
two cats into a motorhome. From Vancouver, BC we travelled down the Oregon coast before heading inland.
We spent six months on the road making it all the way down to New Orleans before making our way up to
Atlantic Canada.
You can read all about our adventures here.
Truly, an amazing experience!
From there I lived in Nova Scotia on Cape Sable Island (alas not the one with the horses)
where we spent 18 months renovating a house before relocating to Saint John just in time for Covid.
I worked for a year at Source Atlantic managing their Prophet 21 application and database and after leaving continue to work on a contract basis for more advanced/special tasks.
Once Covid travel bans were lifted we headed west again only to find our adventure halted at the US border (Covid yay)
with winter quickly approaching. We ended up settling in Saskatchewan for three years.
We then left Saskatchewan and bought a small acreage in Manitoba. The property was abandond for 5 years so back to a major renovation and cleanup project.
At the time of this writing we've already cleaned the house out and started repairs, like replacing the front door. And now that we've found the well our next goal is
to clean it out and get the water to the house running again (and have a well cleaning company come in). Thank goodness for the RV and its working water heater!
A bit of history there but really what I wanted to convey is I am highly versatile and willing to tackle a wide variety of challenges.
During recent years I've worked on several programming projects. Mostly for my personal amusement and
to keep up with my programing and admin skills.
This includes the x64 Emulator and, most notably,
Seriously Pinned which is the long arm quilting service my mum opened.
I have been busy working with her to get a site as well as help her with her start-up and the prep needed to secure funding.
She has since closed her doors (retired); However, I maintain a static copy for posterity.
Other sample work I've completed can be found at my GitHub page.
I am looking forward to finding a role that will allow me to contribute my IT skills and unique experiences.
I've been enjoying this new journey and the challenges it has brought and think we've found our forever home acreage!
