New to Contra
Edward is ready for their next project!
As co-founder and CTO of Bursity, I helped turn an idea into a working MVP that connected students with financial awards.
I worked on everything from gathering requirements and mapping out user and sponsor workflows to system design, database architecture, and AWS infrastructure. I also created technical documentation, built prototypes, and coordinated development with three summer students.
The diagram below is a simplified version of our early system planning, showing how we thought through onboarding, application workflows, and the different parts of the platform

At Modest Tree, I worked on custom analytics and web tracking using .NET, StatsD, InfluxDB, and Flux. I wrote queries to process the collected data and make it available to the frontend. I also worked with frontend developers on tracking implementations using JavaScript, Angular, and Google Analytics.
I've also been putting that experience to use on EdwardMa.ca (http://EdwardMa.ca), setting up Google Analytics 4 with custom events to see which projects and services people are interested in and how they interact with the contact form.

Early in my career, I worked with a web designer to build a heavily customized LemonStand e-commerce website for The Curling Store, a local curling equipment retailer, to reflect how the business actually worked.
I communicated directly with the business owner to understand what they needed and took primary responsibility for the mobile layout, helping the site reflect their business and their users.
I still remember this project because it reinforced something important: understanding the people using a website matters as much as understanding the business behind it.

For over four years, I've worked primarily with React, TypeScript, and JavaScript, building features, maintaining applications, and troubleshooting production issues. My work also includes Redux, Sentry, Pendo, TeamCity CI/CD, and Claude Code as part of my development workflow.
For example, on Soul Collection (https://soulcollection.io/), a React-based NFT project. I worked on the responsive frontend, connected crypto wallets and Stripe for NFT purchases, and added Google Analytics tracking to follow the minting process.
