I sit with the client until it actually ships, then fold what works back into the product.

Most of my work happens forward deployed at Botpress: on the call with the client, then writing the production TypeScript behind their AI agent, wired into the systems they already run. When one client needs something the market probably needs too, I generalize it into the product, like the e-commerce vertical, or into Claude skills the whole team builds on. The receipts: 17 enterprise clients and still counting, shipped across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

What I own at Botpress

  • Enterprise monorepoThe repo every Botpress client agent on this list runs from. I keep it current with newer models and techniques.
  • E-commerce verticalShopify agent kit for search, orders, returns, human handoff and guarded refunds. One command turns a store URL into a deployed bot.
  • Agentic ReporterBuilt solo. Grades every chat for CSAT, outcome and topic, and only reports numbers it actually computed.

Botpress·Software Engineer

Software Engineer at Botpress, owning the full delivery lifecycle for enterprise AI bots across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. I architect and build every bot from scratch in TypeScript using the Botpress ADK, no low-code studio. Working at a startup means each client engagement runs like an independent contract, handling spec, architecture, implementation, integration testing, and CS handoff concurrently across 17 clients and still counting. Delivered bots span autonomous customer support, e-commerce (UpsideDrinks.ca bilingual shopping assistant, Visit London itinerary chatbot), knowledge systems (HEAG/Reggie AI 2.0 with FSA Handbook KB, Back to the Roots gardening bot), WhatsApp automation (Yamaha Motor Mexico), and Gmail-integrated knowledge bots (IonOptix). Every delivery is production-deployed and tested end-to-end.

Deloitte logo

Deloitte·Software Engineer

At Deloitte USI Consulting, delivered automation solutions for enterprise clients including Aflac, where I built internal tooling to automate the insurance claims revision workflow. Developed systems to process, categorize, and route claims flagged for human review, reducing manual overhead and improving throughput. Also set up Selenium automation suites for client applications, so regression passes ran without a person driving them. Stack included .NET, JavaScript, and SQL across backend services, internal dashboards, and Agile delivery cycles.

The Digital Uplift logo

The Digital Uplift·Co-Founder / Full Stack Developer

An experiment I pulled together with fellow North Island College, Vancouver Island University and University of Victoria students while we finished our degrees. AI code generation had become genuinely good by the end of 2024, and Vancouver Island is full of small businesses with no website, so we built workflows that turned out small, clean sites at the lowest price we could still deliver properly at. Money was never the goal; helping local businesses was. I led the build: Next.js, Shadcn for UI, SEO-first routing and Google Analytics. No longer accepting new clients.
