About me

Profile Image

Hi, I'm Greg. I'm a software developer, computer scientist, and problem solver. I enjoy learning, and love exploring how software can solve problems. I am interested in cloud computing, cybersecurity, and all things development. Prior to completing a B.Sc in Computer Science, I built extensive experience in customer service, and client satisfaction.

I have experience in full stack development, networking, database development, and computer security. I spent three years on the leadership team of the Information Security Club at the University of Calgary and helped support and develop the annual magpieCTF competition.

When I'm not in front of my computer, I can be found board gaming, and spending time with my family and friends.

Gambyt Solutions

Gambyt Solutions is a task tracking app built to explore distributed systems. The backend is built in Java using Spring Boot and includes a proxy server to manage all requests, and connections, and a distributed backend database. In order to ensure that the service is always available, each component is monitored and will automatically restart in the event of a failure, and then obtain the most up to date information.
