I'm Dylan. I studied Software Engineering at the University of Ottawa and came out with a BASc and a bad habit of taking things apart to see how they work.
My career since then has been in government IT — full-stack work, a lot of AWS, and a fair amount of time spent on systems that were older than my degree. These days I'm at the Canada Border Services Agency, improving the applications people use to actually do their jobs.
I've been involved at most points of the lifecycle, from early development through to deployment, and that's given me a real appreciation for the unglamorous parts. Anyone can build the happy path. The work is in everything that happens after it.
Away from work I build small things that don't need to exist — a Discord bot, a browser extension whose only job is to show you a duck. A few of them end up on the projects page.
The fastest way to reach me is greenedy@hotmail.com. I read everything.
Best,
Dylan
