life on the bow — a calgary life simulation

game developer · 2026

built a neighbourhood life game in the real downtown of calgary. combined open street and building data with autonomous characters, lane-based traffic, gps navigation, and direct player control. kept the life and traffic simulation cores in plain c#, with unity handling movement, rendering, input, and ui, and a shared build pipeline for windows, macos, and desktop browsers.

unity, c#, utility ai, pathfinding, blender, openstreetmap, webgl

shade — ai-native spatial data platform

software engineer · june 2026 – present

built an agentic ai system that reasons over raw databases — inferring semantic meaning from unlabeled schemas, constructing a knowledge graph, and turning location-aware datasets into a conversational map interface. engineered multi-step agent orchestration with tool-calling, rag, safe query execution, spatial reasoning, and self-improving memory, benchmarked against a 107-case evaluation harness whose expected answers are computed from the data rather than typed.

python, ai agents, rag, mcp, spatial data, knowledge graphs

about

built for thoughtful
technical execution.

computer engineering graduate from the university of manitoba with a foundation spanning hardware design and modern software development. i enjoy bridging the gap between complex systems and user-friendly solutions.

my work ranges from low-level c/c++ on embedded platforms and computer vision with CUDA to building geospatial web applications with vue.js and react. currently at technosylva, developing tools that help firefighters and emergency personnel manage wildfire risk.

based in calgary, ab. open to remote opportunities worldwide.
