Summary
Full‑stack maker and software engineer: maintains a public portfolio of projects covering frontend (Typemeup — Svelte/JS), backend/automation (PersistentBrowser — Playwright), and desktop/native tooling (ParticleSimulator). These repos and the personal website show a blend of product-oriented web work and systems-level coding. bskdany+3
Systems, networking and automation experience: created tooling that integrates network packet inspection, VPN-based interception, firewall manipulation and automation workflows (StopBeingCooked, PersistentBrowser). This indicates strengths in networking, Linux tooling, and practical automation. github+1
Hands‑on embedded and hardware maker: involved with CU InSpace (hybrid engine control system) and hackathon projects (QNX Roomba) that combine embedded OS work, microcontrollers, and mechatronics — showing capability to bridge firmware and higher-level software. bskdany+1
Active in the Ottawa maker/dev community and public about projects: maintains a personal site, GitHub, Devpost portfolio and an X account used to announce work and community activities, suggesting regular public contributions and engagement with local events and hackathons. bskdany+3
