I’ve been doing this for a while: as of 2020 I’ve been in the business of software development for a quarter century. I’ve worked with startups, government departments, banks, corporate consulting firms, design agencies, crisis consultants, retail chains, theatre companies, and individuals. I am an experienced, self-directed developer, but I also have a background in the arts and an MA in English Literature. I’m good at looking at the bigger business / conceptual picture while also figuring out little technical details. When I’m not coding, I create nerdy photo mashups of iconic science fiction characters and ships with equally iconic Nova Scotian scenery. This started as a one off joke, but it went viral and I now have hundreds of different images on my “starshipsstarthere.ca” site, I’ve been featured on TV, radio, online, and in print, and I sell posters, calendars, prints, and t-shirts at fan events - I am now slightly “Halifamous”. Turns out I really enjoy selling my own products to fans in person. Last but not least, I’m also an award-winning speaker who has spoken and keynoted at conferences across North America.
