4 years building fast, accessible, and scalable web and mobile applications. I care about the pixels, the milliseconds, and everything in between.
A developer who
sweats the details.
Nilon
An AI memory layer with three parts: a browser extension that clips and auto-tags responses from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity; a web platform with semantic search and collections; and an MCP server so Claude Code agents can retrieve past context across sessions.
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.

Things I've built.
Nilon
In DevAn AI memory layer built in three parts: a browser extension that clips responses from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity into a searchable vault — auto-tagged by Claude Haiku in seconds; a web platform that organises saves into collections with semantic search and contextual actions; and an MCP server that lets Claude Code agents retrieve past context and persist decisions across sessions without manual file management.
FollowIQ
AI-powered recruiter email sequence generator. Recruiters manage a candidate pipeline and generate personalized 3-email follow-up sequences via Claude in seconds.
Spotlight
Mobile app merging YouTube and Netflix features, enabling creators to upload and organize amateur content into structured shows.
Mask Detection Model
ML model detecting mask-wearing in real time using TensorFlow, Keras, and Sklearn with deep learning layers for high classification accuracy.
NuViu — Smart Cane
IoT assistive device using ultrasonic sensors and NVIDIA Jetson to detect obstacles and read signs via ML, relaying audio feedback to the user.
What people say.
I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Lincoln Laylor at Opinion System, and he’s genuinely great to collaborate with. He brings strong technical expertise, a lot of patience, and a positive attitude to everything he does. Lincoln quickly understands challenges and always comes forward with thoughtful solutions that improve both the product and the team’s workflow. I’ve seen him grow from a front-end developer into a confident full stack leader, and working with him has been an awesome experience
Arif Lalani
Lead UI/UX Designer, Opinion System
Working with Lincoln over the past 3 years at Opinion System has been a great experience. Starting as a frontend developer, he quickly grew into a strong full stack developer capable of handling complex projects across the stack. Lincoln consistently demonstrates strong technical skills, ownership, and a collaborative mindset. He’s reliable, adaptable, and someone I trust to deliver high-quality work on challenging problems.
Mathieu Martel
Senior Software Developer, Opinion System
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.
