Expert Data Architecture & Systems Development
Building the resilient, scalable software that powers business growth. Led the technical team behind a nine-figure acquisition.
Building Value That Lasts
Proven Success in Scalable Systems
Before founding Semaforge, I spent nearly a decade as the technical leader for a startup that revolutionized airport logistics. My role wasn’t just to write code; it was to build the rock-solid foundation for a high-growth business.
- I architected the mission-critical software platform that became the company’s core asset.
- I scaled the system to operate flawlessly across 70+ international airports, managing thousands of real-time devices.
- I led the technical vision that ensured our product was resilient, reliable, and built for the future.
This focus on robust, scalable architecture was a key factor in the company’s major acquisition.
At Semaforge, I bring that same battle-tested expertise and founder’s mentality to your project.

A Code Explorer for the Clojure Community
Clojure, Fullstack, PostgreSQL, DBT, Python
The Problem: Clojure developers, especially those new to the ecosystem, often struggle to find real-world examples of how popular libraries are used.
The Solution: I engineered a complete data pipeline that ingests and analyzes thousands of open-source Clojure projects from GitHub. The site highlights the most-used functions and libraries, providing data-driven insights and learning examples to solve a key community pain point.
CryptoCommons.ca
An initiative dedicated to documenting and analyzing the stances of Canadian politicians on digital currencies.
Clojure, DuckDB, DLT, DBT, Python, LLMs, AWS
The Problem: How can we bring data-driven transparency to the complex and often nuanced topic of crypto regulation in Canadian politics?
The Solution: I built a full-stack data platform using Clojurescript and a modern data stack (DBT, DuckDB). The system automates the collection and analysis of political statements, employing an LLM to ensure high intercoder reliability for sentiment analysis. The findings are presented in a clear, interactive dashboard.

API Design & Development
Data Pipelines & Architecture
I design and build production-grade ETL & ELT pipelines that turn complex data into your most valuable asset. My expertise isn’t just theoretical; it’s forged from building systems that handle real-time telemetry for mission-critical decisions.
From initial data modeling to a scalable cloud architecture, I build the systems that power your analytics and business intelligence.
Reliable Systems by Design (DevOps)
I don’t just build features; I build resilient, maintainable, and scalable systems. DevOps isn’t an add-on service—it’s foundational to how I work.
Every project is built on best-in-class principles, leveraging automation (CI/CD), infrastructure as code, and robust monitoring. By integrating operational excellence from day one using tools like AWS, Docker, and GitHub Actions, we ensure your system is secure, reliable, and ready to scale.
A Founder's Approach to Software
I design software as a core business asset, not just a collection of features. My approach is forged from a founder’s perspective: prioritize long-term value, build for scalability and reliability, and ensure every technical decision directly supports your strategic goals. This is how we build software that lasts.
About The Founder
I founded Semaforge with a simple belief: that software should be a strategic asset, built to create lasting value.
My career has been defined by that principle. I spent nearly a decade at a startup, rising to Technical Lead where I architected the core platform that powered the company’s growth and eventual nine-figure acquisition. As a co-founder in the blockchain space, I navigated the cutting edge of financial innovation, building secure systems for tokenized assets.
This journey—from scaling mission-critical systems to founding companies—has given me a unique perspective. I am not just a consultant; I am a builder and a technical partner. Through Semaforge, I bring that leadership, experience, and founder’s mentality to help you build software that matters.
