My Work and Education History
A journey through my tech life.
  • Contract Website Design and Development

    Started building websites for local small businesses and even my high school. One of my sites got featured in the newspaper—back when websites were a big deal!

  • Salary Position at Glenn-Net Communication

    Worked at a local internet company developing websites, including some pretty large and innovative projects.

  • Freelance Website Design and Development

    Returned to freelancing because the office life wasn't for me. I enjoyed the flexibility of working directly with clients on web development projects.

  • Traveling Europe

    Spent nearly a year exploring Europe, where I made a website for a bar in Italy just for fun. It was an incredible experience all around.

  • Exploring Different Paths

    Tried my hand at starting, buying, and selling small businesses—profitable but unfulfilling. I also dabbled in web development during this time. I attended St. Lawrence College briefly to explore new career options but nothing really clicked. Took jobs at companies like ADT Security and Nikon, still in search of the right challenge.

  • Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario

    Finally found my challenge! I enrolled in a BAH at Queen's University, specializing in Cognitive Science with a focus on Artificial Intelligence. I worked in and managed a research lab, published papers, earned research awards, and traveled to conferences. I even had visiting professors suggesting PhD programs—but I had other plans.

  • Gold Silver Club

    After the financial crash, I became fascinated by economics. I started a small bullion dealer in Montreal and, naturally, built the software to run it.

  • The Bullion Exchange

    With my gold industry experience, I built out systems for The Bullion Exchange, including customer tracking, PDF invoicing, and much more.

  • Bullion Tracker

    Created a web app to track precious metals purchases, set price alerts, and export holdings details. Sold the app after receiving an offer—though it's no longer available, it was exactly what I wanted in a tracker.

  • CTO of Equibit Group

    Co-founded Equibit Group, a blockchain-based securities trading platform. We raised $4.5 million and the company was valued at around $150 million at its peak. After some management disagreements, I left and watched the company fall apart.

  • IT Lead at Strategic Wealth Preservation

    Having done a small contract for SWP the year before, I knew the management from my Gold Silver Club days. I rebuilt their website and developed a full management system for customers, invoices, auditing, vault movements, and more.

  • The Gold Advisor

    Encouraged and help Jeff Clark start The Gold Advisor. A newsletter system with paid and free newsletters for the precious metal mining.

  • RDG and GoldEverywhere

    Started Rapid Dev Group to manage my long-term website clients, and GoldEverywhere to improve the gold bullion industry through tech, leveraging my years of experience in both fields. Gold Everywhere is going to be the Shopify of bullion
