compliance documents processed through CheckWise in production.

3 clients

real companies on the platform, with 15+ vendors onboarded.

3 live apps

CheckWise, SAVR, and Family Phrase Game, all deployed and openable.

EN / ES

designed, built, and documented in both languages, across Canada and Mexico.

Four systems, documented end to end.

Each one started with a real problem, uses a stack I chose deliberately, and comes with evidence you can inspect.

01Live

CheckWise - REPSE Compliance Platform

A REPSE-compliance SaaS where vendors submit recurring evidence, LegalShelf reviewers adjudicate, and clients see portfolio-wide risk.

Stack
FastAPI · Next.js 15 · React 19 · PostgreSQL

~20,000 documents

processed in production for 3 client companies, with 15+ vendors onboarded.

03Prototype

ER Triage & Queue Manager

A workflow prototype for emergency-room queue visibility, patient-state tracking, and triage prioritization.

ESI v4

The real emergency-department acuity standard, with the clinical reasoning shown for every level.

GitHub

What I work across.

Four layers of the same system: this is where I'm useful on a team.

01

Interface

Product surfaces, responsive UI, and interaction design that reflects the real workflow.

  • React
  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS
02

Application

Routes, server logic, authentication, validation, and feature implementation.

  • Python
  • FastAPI
  • Flask
03

Data

Persistence, schemas, seed data, state transitions, and domain modelling.

  • PostgreSQL
  • SQLite
  • SQLAlchemy
04

Delivery

Version control, deployment, tests, documentation, and the case study that explains it.

  • GitHub
  • Vercel
  • Render

How I work

01

Build real systems, not demos.

Problem framing, architecture, implementation, proof, then the next iteration.

02

Make technical decisions explainable.

Every project documents the tradeoff I took and what it cost me.

03

Design the workflow before the screen.

The interface should reflect the real process and system state behind it.

04

Show the evidence.

Code, screenshots, architecture, and honest limits: something concrete to inspect.

Software engineering first, cybersecurity as a technical edge.

Computer Science at Acadia University, working toward software engineering, cybersecurity, and technical product roles. My projects sit where systems, security, and usability meet: APIs, data models, auth, recommendation logic, dashboards. I work in English and Spanish, across Canada and Mexico.
