Deepening my understanding of how to integrate large language models into real products — prompt engineering, agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, and designing UX that makes AI feel natural rather than bolted on.

Hey — I'm Lincoln, a full-stack developer based in Canada with a passion for building software that feels as good as it performs. I care about accessibility, performance, and the details most people skip.

Over 4 years I've shipped production software at startups and government agencies alike — from responsive UI overhauls and custom Chrome extensions to Docker deployments on AWS and ML-powered IoT hardware.

Great software lives at the intersection of engineering rigour and design sensibility. If it's slow, inaccessible, or ugly — it's not done.

What people say.

Lincoln has a rare ability to own a feature end-to-end — from the first Figma frame to production deploy — without losing sight of the details. He shipped our mobile animation overhaul ahead of schedule and the quality was genuinely impressive.

S

Sarah Mitchell

Engineering Manager, Opinion System

Working with Lincoln on the hardware simulation tooling was a highlight of the project. He picked up an unfamiliar stack quickly, asked the right questions, and delivered a Python app that cut our test error rate noticeably. Reliable and sharp.

D

Daniel Park

Senior Engineer, GBatteries

Lincoln translated our Figma designs into pixel-perfect React components faster than anyone I've worked with. He also flagged a data-flow issue in the REST integration that would have been a headache to debug later. Great instincts all around.
