Experience
- May 2018 – Present LOGO.com
- Head of Engineering
- Feb 2024 – Present. Engineering Manager, Jul 2022 – Jan 2024. Senior Software Engineer, Apr 2020 – Jun 2022. Software Developer, May 2019 – Mar 2020. Junior Software Developer, May 2018 – Apr 2019
- Joined from a BCIT practicum and was promoted four times. Over 1 billion logos. Remote, with monthly Vancouver meetups.
- Hiring manager for 4+ years: every engineering interview since year two, about 8 hires, several still here after 4+ years.
- AI gateway for 100% of inference (tens of thousands a day) on Cloudflare AI, OpenRouter and FAL, with saved prompts and logs.
- Zero-code dashboard so non-technical staff ship prompts without engineering, plus an AI agent and an MCP server.
- Designed the agentic site platform myself, including its direction, drawing on other platforms. Beside link-in-bio, existing sites coexist and can be imported.
- Led the move from Vercel/Next.js to TanStack on Cloudflare Workers, Docker and MySQL, cutting costs to about a third.
- A ticket becomes a preview build via skills, agents and MCP. Sprint velocity rose 40% while alerts and bug tickets fell.
- Analytics event API, Duda integration lead (Apr 2020 – Jan 2021), and version one in React, TypeScript and Node.
Personal Projects
- Manage a 50TB Unraid home server running 20+ Docker containers (including self-built applications Spectarr and Crease), remotely accessible via VPN with custom DNS (*.harebear.ca).
- Built Herdr manager, a self-hosted MCP server written in Rust that scales and tracks AI harnesses across providers, subscriptions and APIs to automate code delivery.
- Built Spectarr, an *arr-ecosystem application that uses AI to analyze photos of physical media and match them against a home media server library.
- Built Crease, a local-first note-taking application modeled after Notion, featuring a “Write with AI” capability.
- Designed a self-hosted LLM system for running models such as QwenCoder and Gemma on personal hardware, accessible remotely over VPN via OpenWebUI.
