👨🏻💻 ****Work Experience
Senior Software Developer
Vidyard, Remote, Canada | Nov 2022 – Present
- Built an in-product AI chat assistant orchestrating Claude AI tool calls. Won first place at company hackathon; the AI agent pattern was placed on the product roadmap and led to Vidyard's official MCP server.
- Built Vidyard's first AI greenfield app (AI-powered sales outreach): Implemented OpenAI prompt workflows with enriched B2B data sources. Pioneered promptfoo.ai test-driven prompt evaluation, Outlook/Gmail email delivery system in Node.js, and front-end patterns in Vue 3 + TypeScript that became the company blueprint for new applications.
- Sole engineer selected by the CTO to prototype an AI avatar video generator integrating lip-sync ML models and voice cloning. Successfully validated the concept — now Vidyard's latest profit center.
- DRI for Chrome Manifest V3 migration of the screen recording extension: refactored to Service Worker architecture. Developed real-time background blur applying ML TensorFlow.js image segmentation.
Head of Development
Legible, Vancouver, Canada (Remote) | Sep 2020 – Jun 2022
Reporting to the CEO, I hired and managed a 14-person team building a web-based, mobile-first e-book reading and publishing platform.
- Established the full-stack foundation: PostgreSQL objects serving a GraphQL schema with code-generated React/TypeScript types, establishing end-to-end type safety from database to UI — enabling a product launch within a year. An approach later trialed by Netflix as well.
- Built an atomic design system with a React component library in Storybook.js
- Led development of a cross-platform eBook storefront with Stripe payment processing and Avalara sales tax integration.
