As Apex Occupational Health Solutions Inc. gained traction with version one of it’s platform, the company formed strategic partnerships with Staples Business Advantage and The Canadian Back Institute to deliver its services to enterprise-level clients across Canada.
A new company was formed and I became responsible for leading a development team to deliver a new version of the application. Working alongside the Project Manager, a QA Automation Specialist, and Front-End and Back-End Developers, the team was distributed across the globe, working entirely remotely to create the new version of the platform.
I worked closely with the Project Manager and key stakeholders to organize and plan development efforts using agile methodologies. With years of experience working remotely, I have learned to communicate efficiently and effectively to drive a team towards its goals.

Apex identified a need for an interactive tool to help their clients manage their ergonomics through an online learning and diagnostic tool. As the sole developer working on the project, I was responsible for architecting and implementing every aspect of the system.
As a brand new Web Developer, I employed my problem-solving skills and the theoretical knowledge I acquired during University to cut my teeth on a real-world web application.

After years of theoretical learning during my university years, and finding myself somewhat disillusioned working for a massive corporation, I took some time away from software development to work in construction.
As a university-educated labourer, I was given many opportunities for growth inside of the company and learned many aspects of electrical road construction, both in the field and in the office. It was during this time that I became aware of the need for my current business venture, Flowcates.

For four summers during my university career, I worked in the Software Verification and Validation Department of the mobile handset giant, BlackBerry. During my tenure there, I gained a wealth of knowledge in the field of software testing.
As a Software Testing Associate, daily activities included executing time-sensitive test cases to ensure the quality of development and release builds, verifying bug fixes, and investigating issues to determine cause and reproducibility. This provided an excellent foundation in the effective management and resolution of defects throughout the logging, triaging, investigation, and verification processes.
As the summers progressed, so did my role. New responsibilities included test case design, test planning, and some configuration and monitoring of automated tests. In the final summer, I worked closely with developers as a lead tester for a new core application under development.
