AVRA is an Ottawa-based 5-piece rock band, drawing inspiration from Led Zeppelin, U2, and The Black Keys.

We've played across Ottawa - from Petrie Island Beach, to RBC Bluesfest 2017, to chip truck rallies.

We've played across Ottawa - from Petrie Island Beach on Canada Day, to RBC Bluesfest 2017, to an out-of-the-way chip truck rally with 15 people that our guitarist promised would be our big break (...it wasn't).

Planetside Open Games is a matchmaking system for Planetside 2's dev-sanctioned competitive server. We've run over 5000 matches in the last year, with over 3000 hours of match time.

Our 3-man dev team created a fully cloud-hosted discord bot written in Python with Mongodb for data processing and storage. The bot integrates with the game's API for scoring, Google Sheets for map reservations, and Teamspeak 3 for match notifications.

CASCO is a student-run charity organization hosts an annual musical gala, where I helped raise more than $250,000 over four years as a musical director, musician, and producer.

The Voron 2.4 is a community-developed Core-XY 3D printer with a belted gantry controlled by Klipper.

I created a fork of the project to design and build the Voron 2.4 XL: a printer with 400mm³ of build volume and 150mm/s of print speed.

The Voron 2.4 is a community-developed 3D printer that uses a unique Core-XY motion system with a belted gantry and dual MCUs controlled by a Rasberry Pi running Klipper.

I forked the project to design and build the Voron 2.4 XL: a printer with 400mm³ of internal build volume and up to 150mm/s of print speed.

I modified the motion system, added dual linear rails, doubled the extrusion thickness, and reconfiguring the firmware to support the larger volume.

I designed, built, and deployed the website you're on now.

My site was developed from the ground up with HTML, CSS, Javascript, and JQuery, and is deployed in an integrated Amazon AWS ecosystem. Static files are hosted in S3, custom DNS routing uses Route53, CDN is handled by CloudFront, and contact form emails use Lambda and SES.
