About

I'm Christian, a Toronto-based Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience shipping production interfaces at enterprise scale. Autodesk. CMLS. Dayforce. Companies where the bar is high and the codebase is real.

I build AI-powered products that ship: accessible, performant and production-ready. That combination of engineering depth and AI fluency is rare. Most AI engineers can't build the UI. Most frontend engineers are just starting with the tools.

I've fully integrated AI into every layer of my workflow: Claude Code for architecture and review, Cursor for in-editor velocity, agentic pipelines for the work that used to take days. The craft standards don't drop. The throughput goes up.
