Orpheus|Backend Engineer, Co-founder|January 2026 – Present|Remote

Version control for digital audio workstation projects. Git handles these badly because DAW files are large binaries with no stable identity inside them, so a one note change looks like a whole file rewrite.

• Own the Convex backend schema and the track mutations, including server side validation of everything written to the database.
• Contributed to the design for diffing DAW projects, grounded in measurement rather than assumption. A single note edit localizes to 1 of roughly 1,800 binary events and a 143 to 167 byte patch, while opaque plugin blobs account for up to 76 percent of file bytes.
• Contributed to the architecture of flparse, a Rust crate that parses FL Studio's binary event stream and re-encodes it byte exactly across every test fixture.
• Four contributor monorepo, 376 commits. TypeScript, Rust, Convex, Bun, Turborepo, Nix.

Virtual Vince|Founder, Software Engineer|February 2024 – Present|Stratford, ON

Independent development business building and operating production systems for clients in health, arts, education and e-commerce.

• Provision and administer a multi tenant Ubuntu Server VPS end to end, from a bare install through HestiaCP, user accounts, DNS, firewall rules and my own backup routines. It hosts several independent sites.
• Wrote 11 WordPress plugins in PHP that create pages, navigation, layouts, forms and content programmatically, putting site structure under version control instead of in a sequence of manual admin actions.
• Built an audit log plugin with its own database table, a schema version key for migrations, configurable account exclusions, and exact diff capture for every content edit alongside plugin and publishing events.
• Ship and maintain Next.js, TypeScript and Tailwind applications, including one client on a monthly hosting and maintenance retainer.
• Run ChironAI, an AI enablement service covering team training, agent setup and business process automation.

Six primitives with full test suites run under the race detector. Raft leader election, a Bitcask style log structured key value store with CRC and crash recovery, a consistent hash ring, vector clocks, a bounded worker pool, and a token bucket rate limiter.

CIFAR-10 Regularization Study|Python, TensorFlow

github.com/VirtualVince/cifar10-regularization-study

A controlled four model comparison isolating what dropout, L2 weight decay and augmentation each contribute to generalization. An overparameterized 12M parameter dense baseline reaches roughly 45 percent validation accuracy, a three block CNN combining all three exceeds 80.

Employee Management System|Node.js, Apollo GraphQL, MongoDB, Angular
