About
I'm from Halifax and I just graduated NSCC's IT Programming diploma (2024 — 2026). I build websites, integrate AI tools, and handle IT support for small businesses across Nova Scotia.
SolveHFX started because I got tired of hitting the same pothole on Robie Street and watching the 311 form go nowhere. So I built something that actually routes reports to the right district and tracks them. CBC picked it up a few weeks later. Most of what I build starts the same way — a small, real-world annoyance worth fixing.
I'm looking for full-time work in Halifax or remote across Canada — web development, AI-related development, SEO, or IT support / systems roles. Also taking on a small number of client projects through Huddy Digital.
