About Me

Hi, I’m Louis — a full-stack developer based in Calgary, AB, building products that solve real-world problems and create meaningful impact.

I work across the stack with React, Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript, crafting scalable systems, intuitive interfaces, and increasingly, AI-driven workflows.

I believe technology is more than code — it’s a way to connect ideas, empower people, and shape the future. I’m driven to turn ideas into production-ready solutions that are thoughtful, fast, and built to last.
