Lead Software Engineer with 9+ years building production systems across backend, native mobile, and cloud infrastructure. I care about software that's well-architected, maintainable, and ships with confidence.

Outside of work I contribute to open source, write about engineering, and teach developers how to think in systems.

• 🏗️ Systems — distributed architectures, event-driven design, Redis pub/sub, queue-based pipelines
• 📱 Mobile — native iOS (Swift + MapKit) and Android (Kotlin) from zero to production
• ☁️ Cloud & IaC — AWS, Docker, Terraform, Ansible; reproducible and auditable infrastructure
• 🌍 Open Source — creator of Pearl.js, a lightweight Node.js event-routing library
• ✍️ Educator — former mobile dev instructor at George Brown College

A lightweight, declarative event-routing library for Node.js.

Pearl.js is my open source Node.js library for building clean, testable event-driven systems — without the boilerplate. Designed for teams who want the power of pub/sub without the overhead of a full message broker for in-process communication.

import { Pearl } from 'pearl.js';

const bus = new Pearl();

bus.on('user.created', async ({ id, email }) => {
  await sendWelcomeEmail(email);
});

bus.emit('user.created', { id: 42, email: 'hello@world.com' });

Why Pearl.js?

• 🪶 Zero dependencies, zero magic
• 🔁 Async-first, promise-aware event handlers
• 🧪 Built with testability in mind
• 📦 Works with Node.js, Express, Fastify, and more

Beyond Pearl.js, I actively contribute to the broader ecosystem:

• 🐛 Bug fixes and issue triage in Node.js ecosystem libraries
• 📝 Documentation improvements for developer tooling projects
• 🌍 Infrastructure templates shared with the DevOps community via IaC Templates
