Biography

I am a professional full-stack developer with a strong background in geospatial software, currently providing Developer Support at Esri Canada. I employ my programming expertise in Python, Arcade, JavaScript, and Flask to devise effective solutions for complex GIS problems. I boast a comprehensive understanding of the ArcGIS platform, proficiently utilizing tools like Real-Time Analytics, Big Data Analysis, and Front-End Geovisualization. Recently, I've cultivated a keen interest and proficiency in the realm of AI, specializing in Natural Language Processing. I have built several full-stack applications, utilizing REST APIs for application development. One of my personal projects includes building an application using OpenAI's Chat API with the gpt-3.5-turbo model, which summarizes records and creates statistical descriptions of datasets. I continuously strive to learn and adapt to cutting-edge technologies and practices, and have an active presence at AI meetups and tech events. You can find me on my LinkedIn Profile.

When I am not programming… I am flying drones, or building bots.
