Full-stack developer and AI engineer in Saskatoon.

Concepts

Things I built on my own, without a client. Live, but nobody paid for them.

One Arrow First Nation

Concept

My own redesign. Not commissioned, and not their live site.

Department pages, Chief and Council, election notices, events, job postings and a member portal entry. Fully built, not a mockup, for a nêhiyaw nation in Treaty 6.

Vanilla JS · Static multi-page · Vercel

The Nation's own site is onearrow.ca. This is my own work, shared as a portfolio piece.

What I do

I handle the whole build myself, from design to the domain.

AI products

LLM pipelines, search and drafting built into real products, with usage limits and billing set up.

Web apps

Logins, roles, databases, admin consoles and Stripe payments. Next.js when the project needs it, plain JavaScript when it doesn't.

Business sites

Fast sites with booking and quote forms that send leads straight to your inbox.

Stack

Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js, Firebase, Stripe, LLM APIs, WebGL, Vercel

About

I'm Jay, a full-stack developer and AI engineer from James Smith Cree Nation, living in Saskatoon.

I wrote my first line of code in March 2024. I left a bootcamp four weeks in and taught myself the rest, a lot of it by spending whole days on one bug until it made sense. Since then I've shipped thirty-plus live projects, including a product taking payments and a student portal people rely on every month.

I'd put myself about halfway to senior. I believe in the work I do, I love doing it, and I'm confident I can handle what you bring me.

Lab

The background on this site is something I wrote from scratch in WebGL2, no libraries. Each particle knows where it sits in all six shapes, and the graphics card blends between them as you scroll. Try one.

Four-pass bloom: accumulate, bright-pass, blur, composite.
A frame-time governor drops particles before it drops frames.
Canvas 2D fallback for devices without WebGL2.
