Summary
I graduated from NBCC Fredericton in 2019 as a Programmer Analyst; I worked for The Black Arcs (see here also) from April 2019 to April 2023 as a senior developer.
I helped to develop their Citisketch product since I was brought on board, and have accrued a great many skills related to developing software and complex systems. See Skills for more information.
