Hey, I'm Collin

I'm a Software Engineer specializing in automation, AI-driven distributed systems, and scalable backend architectures.

I also have experience in fullstack development, and have a passion for learning new skills and technologies, and building innovative solutions.

Originally from Toronto, I'm currently based in the Greater Seattle Area.
