I'm a freelance web developer based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
I've built websites and apps for a wide variety of freelance clients. If you're an individual looking to make your side gig dreams a reality, a small business ready to move from Wix to something more flexible, or a graphic designer who needs your visions made into code, we should chat.
Some past projects
Crossroads International Report
Working with designs from Design for Good I implemented the annual report for Crossroads International, a Canadian volunteer agency supporting the rights of women and girls in Africa. The static microsite is fully responsive and bilingual in French and English, with some interactive elements and animations to maintain visual interest.
The Devil's Workshop
I completed back-end WordPress development for The Devil's Workshop, a Toronto business specializing in custom jewellery and jewellery-making workshops. I migrated the products, integrated plugins, and created custom filters and actions to let customers purchase products, workshop bookings, and gift cards using one unified WooCommerce checkout.
Pedestrians.ca
This website monitors, maps and analyzes pedestrian collisions in Ontario, Canada. Each collision is geocoded and tagged to describe the location, date, time, and number of pedestrians injured or killed. Analysis using GIS (Geographic Information Systems) helps to suggest solutions to infrastructure challenges that lead to over 100 pedestrian fatalities every year.
Arthritis Treatment Risks Tool
Working with designs from Design for Good, I implemented an online microsite for the Canadian Spondyloarthritis Association to help those with Inflammatory Arthritis obtain information about their care and treatment options. The tool dynamically generates customized PDF information sheets for users based on their personal needs and concerns.
Toronto Walks
Toronto Walks is a responsive web app that helps visitors and locals explore cultural and historic sites in downtown Toronto. I used the Leaflet.js 2.0 JavaScript library with an OpenStreetMap basemap, then incorporated City of Toronto Open Data shapefiles and QGIS-created vector layers to define the walk paths and sights.
Corktown Association
The Corktown Residents and Business Association works to improve and promote Toronto's historic Corktown neighbourhood through local events and initiatives. I currently update and maintain the Corktown.ca WordPress website to ensure it continues to meet the needs of the organization.
How I can help?
WordPress
I can create a WordPress website or WooCommerce shop with a custom theme that matches your designs. Let's use trusted plugins along with the WordPress API, filters, and actions to create a performant website with custom workflows that make your life easier.
Front-End Implementation
Using modern HTML5, CSS, and clean JavaScript with libraries such as Tailwind or ChakraUI, I can accurately implement your graphic design and make sure it renders responsively across all devices while meeting WCAG 2.0 accessibility standards.
Next.js
The Next.js React framework is an increasingly popular way to build flexible modern websites. Combined with a headless CMS like Hygraph or DatoCMS, or a cloud database such as Supabase, your site can deploy easily and affordably on the Vercel cloud.
Integrations
Modern web apps don't live in isolation. I've built my own APIs, and I've integrated many third-party services including MailChimp, SendInBlue, SendGrid, Salesforce, Shopify, Square, GAN.ai, AWS Transcribe, Leaflet.js, and MapLibre.
Technical Docs
I value clear written communication. I've completed courses in Technical Writing and would love to help you create concise and usable documentation for your processes and software products.
