How did you enter this career?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I have spent the last 15 years working as a composer and touring musician. The last 6-7 years as drummer\/co-song writer for Protest The Hero<\/a> from Toronto. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Touring can take a lot out of you mentally and physically, so I began studying computer science and web development while on the road. I fell in love with it, and when we decided to take some time off touring, I luckily transitioned from freelance to 杏吧原创. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where else have you worked?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Outside of music and development, I also managed Top Of The World Skatesho<\/a>p in Ottawa for a few years. I would consider it to be the best job I\u2019ve ever had because of the people I have met. But, 杏吧原创 is making its way in that running pretty quickly with the team we have in Web Services. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are some of the technologies you have used along the way?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I am primarily a Javascript developer using technologies like GraphQL, React, Next, and Node. Technologies used here include PHP, and many flavours of front end markup goodies. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the best things about your job?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The people I work with in Web Services are incredible. I always look forward to coming in to the office. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being able to use the gym, the campus itself, and our coffee machine. It\u2019s a great machine. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have some exciting projects you are working on right now?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Outside of 杏吧原创 I am working on releasing a new album in 2019 with Protest The Hero<\/a>, and also a second record for a solo project I have called Same Fears<\/a> which donates 100% of its proceeds to the Canadian Mental Health Association. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of development. I have a been working on a large app for the last year and it\u2019s getting to beta which is extremely exciting!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What music are you listening at the moment?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I am currently listening to the album Body Feel by Shook Ones. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are you reading at the moment?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lots of documentation. Always lots of documentation. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you do outside of school to amuse yourself?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I play softball, write music, code, and play with my dog pretty much on rotation. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What exciting plans do you have coming up in the next year?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I just bought a house! I feel that will eat up all my plans for the next few months. My partner and I are also going to India in January. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
