About Liam

About

A software developer interested in integrations, data, and the workflows between them.

(01) — The short version

I like the part of software where two systems have to agree: moving records between tools, checking that the numbers match, and giving a person a clear place to step in when they do not.

I studied Computer Science at the University of Manitoba. At ZOLL Medical I was a QA Shift Lead / Incoming Inspector, programming vision inspection routines and training new inspectors. At athenahealth I was a Product Delivery Associate, building Power BI reporting on Salesforce case data, investigating data issues with Snowflake SQL, and bringing the findings to product and engineering teams.

I earned the Google Advanced Data Analytics Professional Certificate in Aug 2026, and I hold the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification.

Outside work I build to learn. RiverRoot is a small CI server in Go, r3f3r is a referral tracker in Vue and Spring Boot, and MedCVE is an analysis of healthcare vulnerability data. I am also building a small Transformer in PyTorch from scratch; it is the optional character-level model in ContextPack.

Open-source work is part of that practice. My VetLog filtering fix was merged after maintainer review. For OpenAI Codex, I tested selection behavior across two Linux terminals and reproduced a missing conversation name on daemon exit, then shared the findings in the issue thread.

What I am looking for

Junior roles in software engineering, integration or forward-deployed engineering, and data analysis, where the work sits close to how people actually use a system. The resume has the details, and LinkedIn has the rest.
