I design and build software that replaces expensive manual workflows in Alberta's industrial sector — from full-stack engineering portals that run oil and gas operations, to AI agents that complete compliance audits in under 30 seconds.
01 / About
I build the software, then I build it right.
I'm Mort — a software architect based in Calgary, specializing in AI-powered operational platforms for Alberta's engineering and industrial sectors.
I hold a Master's in Computing Science from the University of Alberta (4.0 GPA), but I've always treated academia as the foundation, not the finish line. My real education comes from building and scaling complex systems. At Piko Digital, I engineered solutions across the full stack of their core platform—spanning Spring Boot microservices, React and React Native frontends, PostgreSQL, and GraphQL—helping scale the architecture to support 1,000+ daily active users.
At Entrek Engineering, I architected and deployed their entire internal operations and AI ecosystem from the ground up. In under three months, I built the secure AWS infrastructure, the deterministic AI document extraction pipelines, and the full-stack portal that manages procurement, bid spreads, field tickets, and project financials for an established Calgary engineering firm.
That is the exact work I am built for: taking a messy, ambiguous operational bottleneck, understanding the business logic deeply, and shipping a production-grade system that eliminates thousands of hours of manual work. I am comfortable owning the entire product lifecycle—from an empty repository to a deployed enterprise system—and I don't need perfect requirements to start.
Outside of software: I've spent years as a community music director, played piano and synthesizer since I was a teenager, and received the University of Alberta's Graduate Community Engagement Award in 2025 for volunteer work with elderly and disabled communities. Some things matter more than shipping velocity.

02 / Projects
Selected work
Production systems built for real operations, real users, and real constraints — not demos.
Open Source
AER Industrial Compliance Agent
LangChain agent autonomously auditing Alberta Energy Regulator compliance — 7-tool orchestration with RAG over AER directives. Cuts 2-hour manual audits to under 30 seconds.
Multi-Model LLM Document Intelligence
Production document extraction pipeline — 450+ records/minute, 98%+ accuracy, three switchable LLM backends (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama) with zero code changes.
03 / Experience
Work history
Five years of production systems — from SMB consulting to enterprise platforms to industrial AI. Always end-to-end, always accountable for outcomes.
Software Systems & AI Developer
- —Architected and deployed the complete technical infrastructure of a Calgary oil and gas engineering firm — designed, built, and deployed from zero.
- —Built a centralized operations portal covering project management, procurement workflows, bid spread analysis, invoice processing, field ticket management, document storage, and client relationship management — production-deployed on AWS.
- —Implemented AI extraction pipelines for invoices, purchase orders, field tickets, and vendor proposals using OpenAI Vision with concurrent batch processing and structured JSON output.
- —Built a P&ID Copilot module parsing engineering DXF drawings and running an LLM agent over extracted equipment topology for safety auditing and equipment inventory.
Independent AI Systems Architect
- —Applied R&D period building domain-specific AI systems for Alberta's industrial sector and delivering proof-of-concept architectures for corporate clients.
- —AER Compliance Agent: LangChain agentic system orchestrating 7 tools (ChromaDB RAG, equipment DB, email, calendar, maintenance logging) — cut full compliance audit cycles from 2 hours to 30 seconds.
- —LLM Document Intelligence Pipeline: Hybrid inference engine processing 1,000+ structured records concurrently across OpenAI, Anthropic, and local Ollama — 450+ records/minute with thread-safe rate limiting.
Full Stack Software Engineer (Core Platform)
- —Engineered core features and microservices across the platform — frontend, mobile, data layer, and operations — scaling the system to 1,000+ daily active users.
- —Built real-time analytics dashboard aggregating 15+ data sources, significantly improving operational visibility.
- —Automated JWT auth + RBAC user governance → 60% reduction in administrative processing time.
- —Architected 50+ reusable React Native/TypeScript components for iOS, Android, and web → 40% faster dev cycles.
- —Built an AI automation pipeline using n8n, Gemini, and GPT-4 Vision — 200+ brand assets/day at 97.5% lower cost than manual production.

Let's build something worth building.
Based in Calgary. Building AI-powered operational software for Alberta's industrial sector — and always open to conversations about hard problems, contract work, or what comes next.
If you're an engineering firm, environmental consultancy, or industrial operator in Alberta with a workflow problem that costs real money, I'd like to hear about it.
