Software and AI tooling
Browser automation, developer tools, agent evaluation, and local-first applications. Inspect the public projects to see how I approach state, failure, and verification.

inspect the projectsRoles that combine troubleshooting, explaining software, and improving workflows. My background brings retail customer experience alongside independent technical work.
discuss a roleBrowser workflows break when pages change. Agent outputs can be difficult to verify. Everyday work can involve slow, repetitive manual steps. My projects explore ways to make these problems easier to inspect, reproduce, and improve.
| Work | Problem and evidence |
|---|---|
| Blackreach | Browser automation with explicit state and recovery. The case study links public source and a historical controlled demonstration, with its limits explained. |
| Huginn | A self-hosted API for collecting JavaScript-rendered pages and extracting structured data. Public code shows job state and retry handling. |
| Lethe and Rigr | Agent evaluation and regression tooling for measuring behavioral change. Project pages link the public implementations. |
| claude-voice | Local text-to-speech for AI coding workflows, with synchronized word highlighting and public source. |
| Cannabis inventory system | Built automation that replaced a slow manual inventory workflow and was used at work. Business code and data remain private. |
The software projects here are independent work, built with substantial Codex and Claude Code assistance. I direct the work, inspect changes, test behavior, and document what the evidence supports. These projects are distinct from my retail employment, where I also built the inventory automation described above.
I work with Python, browser automation, and Linux tooling, and I’m learning Rust through smaller applications. I value readable handoffs, reproducible checks, and clear limits around unfinished work.
Looking for full-time software and technical customer roles. Based in Toronto, open to remote work and relocation.
