Owned secure research delivery on GCP: GitLab CI/CD, automated testing, and analyst-facing risk tooling.

Highlights

• Split a monolith into per-service repos and ran 5 GitLab CI/CD pipelines with dedicated runners on GCP across two GKE clusters; Terraform handled networking and observability so cloud releases stayed repeatable
• Containerized workloads on Docker, ran research GKE on GCP with workload networking, and rolled out services through Terraform to ship infrastructure changes with less risk
• Added JUnit and Playwright E2E coverage across 5 Java microservices so regressions surfaced before release
• Wired Android builds into GitLab CI/CD and promoted them into the Terraform-managed GKE stack on GCP, keeping mobile releases aligned with Kubernetes-backed backends
• Built scripted cybersecurity risk analysis across 1000+ risks and 181+ threat categories: weighted scoring, star-based prioritization, and an Angular triage UI so analysts worked from consistent context

Highlights

• Under LOG 8100 secure-delivery goals, authored and refreshed DevSecOps-aligned lab and lecture artifacts so students practiced current release-security patterns
• Across approximately 20 concurrent teams, built and maintained the GitLab workspace layout (repos, CI/CD templates, runners, workflows) with permissioning, reducing admin friction during the term
• When project teams stalled on platform basics, coached container build, deploy, and debug flows in Docker and Kubernetes, unblocking lab milestones
• Taught security with OWASP-driven examples (common risks, safe defaults, remediation) tied to hands-on lab scenarios
• Graded labs and coached on assignments so resubmissions came back cleaner and faster

Labs, integrator-project support, and office hours across mobile/UX, integrator-project, and distributed-data tracks; course-level detail follows by term.

Highlights

• Taught labs, integrator-project support, and office hours on mobile/UX, integrator-project, and distributed-data tracks across multiple ÉTS terms (e.g., TCH 057 Winter 2024; IND 500 Fall 2025; TCH 099 Summer 2024, Winter 2025, Summer 2025; GTI 660 Summer 2024; GTI 320 Winter 2026)
• When distributed-data labs needed modernization, authored and refreshed SQL, MongoDB, Kafka, and PostgreSQL exercises with rubrics and actionable feedback for IND 500, GTI 660, and related cohorts, matching assessments to learning outcomes
• For TCH 099 integrator teams blocked by integration issues, debugged architecture and backend/data pipelines, sustained Azure-backed course infrastructure, and coached milestones and SCRUM routines so students shipped end-to-end features
• Facilitated TCH 057 mobile/UX labs and GTI 320 (Winter 2026) delivery, keeping sessions on track by resolving tooling and concept questions quickly

IoT platform engineering: tenant-aware subscriptions, observability, streaming protocols, and safer releases.

Highlights

• Addressed organization-scoped access for an IoT platform by designing a three-tier Auth0 subscription model, gating product capabilities per tenant
• Integrated Sentry SDK in C# with Serilog so production errors were easier to trace for support and engineering
• Worked through ONVIF and WebRTC constraints for IoT-scale video streaming
• Ran Azure DevOps pipelines with feature flags and repeatable promotion workflows

Co-op backend work on onboarding, legacy enrollment, mobile auth, and operational visibility for microservices.

Highlights

• Built a 6-step signup flow and mobile-app observability on Kotlin/Spring Boot microservices for 10,000+ active users
• Built signup-date-aware onboarding campaigns for first-touch marketing
• Added enrollment API flows on legacy systems so new clients reached active coverage faster
• Built Kotlin login and MFA APIs for mobile clients while keeping policy controls in place
• Extended ELK with Kibana dashboards and harmonized microservice error codes so ops had consistent incident signals

CommerceBuild storefront: UX refresh, SEO-oriented merchandising, checkout flows, and support tooling.

Highlights

• Redesigned the FR/EN blog on a bilingual CommerceBuild site for clearer navigation and better accessibility
• Added CommerceBuild dynamic sales labels tuned for search/SEO on product pages
• Implemented a custom Add-to-Cart API on CommerceBuild to shorten checkout
• Trained staff on HTML/CSS/JS and handled storefront support, which cut repeat maintenance questions
• Fixed popup, banner, and grid regressions and added a 3CX chatbot for self-serve support

Co-op inventory platform: multi-format ingestion, marketplace integrations, and FX-aware pricing.

Highlights

• Built a Python/Django/Vue.js/PostgreSQL parser for supplier feeds (XML, JSON, CSV, Excel), replacing one-off scripts
• Integrated Facebook Shop and Marketplace APIs so catalog data synced without double entry
• Added an exchange-rate service tied to inventory and effective dates to keep CAD/USD catalogs aligned

Highlights

• On the Italiarail stack with Railkey Tech: integrated Braintree, updated ticketing UI to new brand guidelines, extended purchase APIs, and tightened booking flow performance
• Accelerated internal support by building Django, Pyramid, and jQuery tools plus a currency-usage dashboard, replacing ad hoc spreadsheets for CS and finance
• During co-op, rebuilt the Selenium end-to-end harness and, while part-time, expanded automated coverage, catching UI regressions before release

Highlights

• Automated camera/ISP validation by combining Ansible with Linux/QEMU UEFI VM installs, HDR 10bpp Nexus 6 test imagery, and Flask REST services for remote capture and display, shrinking manual validation loops
• Built outdoor vision datasets (~12,000 images) with capture/annotation, Python RAW-color tooling, and rig control for multi-viewpoint experiments
• Sustained imaging lab throughput with QNAP-backed Ubuntu workstations, networking support, and Linux/Windows servers powering experiments and REST tooling

Highlights

• Maintains club infrastructure and web presence; supports projects in trading, data, and engineering education
• Leads development and support for internal tools (platform, strategies, workshops, automation)
• First MarkÉTS paper-trading competition at ÉTS: 4,154 orders, 170+ participants, 99%+ platform uptime, 15+ live features, club grown to 20 members. Read the MarkÉTS write-up
