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 sector.
I hold a Master's in Computing Science from the University of Alberta (4.0 GPA), but my actual education happened building things. At Piko Digital, I owned the entire engineering platform — Spring Boot microservices, React and React Native frontends, PostgreSQL, GraphQL — scaling it to 1,000+ daily active users as the sole engineer responsible for the full stack.
At Entrek Engineering, I designed and built their complete internal operations portal from scratch — project management, procurement, bid spreads, invoices, field tickets, AI document extraction, cloud infrastructure — deployed to production on AWS in under three months. The system handles the day-to-day operations of a Calgary oil and gas engineering firm. I was the only developer.
That's the work I'm built for: taking a complex operational problem, understanding it deeply, and shipping a production system that makes expensive manual work unnecessary. I don't need a team to do it, and I don't need the requirements to be perfect before I 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
- —Sole engineer responsible for 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 Software Engineer & AI Integrator
- —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)
- —Sole engineer responsible for the entire platform — microservice architecture, frontend, mobile, data layer, and operations — scaled to 1,000+ daily active users.
- —Built real-time analytics dashboard aggregating 15+ data sources → 300% increase in platform intelligence.
- —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.
