The Story Behind Canon Evnt.
After my corporate job laid off the entire department, I instantly recognized it as my "Canon Event." I saw an opportunity to take a leap of faith; the chance to go independent and build something real, and MINE. Now, I design and craft high-impact software, interactive tools, and native mobile apps. No corporate red tape, no bloated subscription fees—just solid, elegant engineering.
Why I Started This Business
I launched Canon Evnt after a dynamic career spanning over 10 years in project management and business operations, followed by deep software engineering and cloud architecture roles within three Fortune 500 tech companies. The decision to go independent wasn't just a career pivot—it was a commitment to build software with personal workmanship, intuitive design, and honesty.
Beyond the code, I create software for gamers, creators, and athletes because these are communities I live in and love. I know firsthand how much passion goes into building something of your own. You shouldn't have to surrender your workflow to bloated platforms or stay trapped in rigid subscriptions.
Today, I focus on building standalone products—from interactive Twitch extensions with live broadcast sync to native iOS & iPadOS apps like Fit JRNL—engineered for performance, privacy, and lasting ownership.
About Me & Core Values
Outside of building software, you'll find me exploring new technologies, diving into video games, spending quality time with my family, and staying physically active in the gym.
In everything I build, I operate on three simple commitments: absolute transparency, straightforward communication, and delivering lasting value in every line of code. Quality, responsiveness, and user satisfaction are the only metrics that matter.
