I solve problems by building things.

Here's an example.

I used to work on overnight visual merchandising projects for a retail store, where the company had a mathematical formula to determine item spacing on fixtures.

The challenge: Manually measuring each fixture and item, converting fractions from a tape measure to decimals, performing the calculations, and then converting the results back to fractions was time-consuming and subject to human error.

The solution: I built a tool with common measurements preloaded. Users simply selected the fixture and items, and the tool handled the calculations automatically — providing a printable wireframe labelled with measurements. While the tool is now obsolete, it was used by visual merchandising teams nationwide for six years, saving 4–6 people hours per merchandising change.

I've always been a quick learner. When I am struck by inspiration, no project remains out of my area of expertise for long. I enjoy the challenge of constantly learning something new.

I live with my wife, two children, and dog in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I'm a fan of fantasy novels, Star Wars, and science in general. My hobbies include playing Ultimate Frisbee, 3D printing, and playing Magic: The Gathering. I also enjoy games of any kind.
