A little background

About Liam

I'm a software developer based in London, Ontario, and I got here the self-taught way. I fell for HTML and CSS back in 2009 and learned by building. One of my earliest projects, BeingGinge, launched in 2011 as a secure, monitored platform where people could share their experiences of bullying.

In the years that followed I took on steady freelance work, which I eventually formalized as my own brand, Ginge (I'm a redhead/ginger), in January 2016.

In August 2016, I joined DevLift Media as a developer, working across a wider range of frameworks and languages and moving beyond the front end.

I'd been studying Interactive Media Design at Fanshawe College throughout, and after graduating in April 2017 I joined Arcane Digital.

Over the next four and a half years at Arcane, I built and optimized websites for a wide range of clients. It's where I sharpened my craft and learned what it takes to ship work that meets the standards of high-profile clients.

In February 2022, I moved from agency work to product at EventConnect, a sports-tournament management platform that simplifies events for organizers, participants, and fans. As Software Development Manager, I led the team improving the platform. In 2026, I became Director of Product, helping shape its direction.

From 2024 to 2025, I taught the Web Interfaces for HMI course at Fanshawe College's Electronics and Embedded Systems Development program.

Fifteen-plus years in, my work has grown from web pages to full software products. Alongside my role at EventConnect, I take on select client projects, building custom software and helping teams ship the right thing. I also contribute pro bono web work to community organizations when I can.
