A technology enthusiast based in Toronto. By day, I work in data platform engineering. Outside of work, I spend a lot of time building and experimenting with self-hosted services, home automation, AI agents and whatever else seems like an interesting problem to solve.
The WE Factor is where I document those projects, what I built, why I built it, what worked, what didn’t, and what I learned along the way.
Home automation projects I've built and actually live with, including what worked, what didn't, and how well they work for the whole family.
Practical AI agents I've built to solve real problems, from personal networking and media management to operating my homelab safely.
Self-hosting projects, infrastructure and lessons from running my homelab — containers, networking, DNS, monitoring, security and automation
I also help organizations explore, design and review practical AI systems and automation.
My focus is on turning ideas into workable architectures — particularly where AI agents need to interact with business applications, APIs, infrastructure or data while keeping permissions, approvals and critical actions clearly controlled.
Whether you're exploring an AI agent, automating an existing workflow or reviewing an early implementation, I can help you think through the architecture and the path forward.
