Summary:

Hi, I’m James – a minimalist software developer based in Ottawa.

I love the craft of software engineering, Philosophy and indie-pop folk music. When I’m not nerding out to something, you’ll often find me listening to music. My favorite band is Icelandic, Of Monsters and Men.

I build web and mobile applications with TypeScript, Go, C# and Python. I am passionate about creating digital solutions that solve real-world problems and improve people's lives. I am currently working on an online learning platform called SomoLabs. Take a free tour at somolabs.com.
