I’m a graduate student in software engineering at McGill University. I previously worked as a full-time backend engineer (with a senior title) and currently freelance on Mercor and Algora. I build, develop, and self-host online services for my personal use and for friends.
I'm also an open-source contributor, I have contributed to some famous projects, including lobe-chat, open-interpreter, AudioLDM2, and Bert-VITES2. BTW, I support the Free Software Movement by regularly donating ($6/month) to fsf.org to achieve their great goals.
Experienced with Python, Rust, PHP, Java, C/C++ and all other tech stacks to develop and deploy services in containers, on VMs, and with K8S clusters. Have much experience with all major cloud computing service providers, including Apple Cloud Infrastructure, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Service, and Alibaba Cloud Service. Senior in backend development and dev-ops.
You can find my recent works (course assignments, reports, etc.) here.
I'm hosting some interesting services on my own server (a Raspberry Pi 5) under my domain steve235lab.ca:
- LobeChat
A self-hosted open-source LLM chat bot service with API access to OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude models, and DeepSeek R1.
- NextCloud
A self-hosted open-source cloud drive.
- Jellyfin
The Free Software Media System.
- Check status of all public services on uptime-kuma.
All these services are open to friends, for free. If you want access to the existing services or even want something new, just let me know.
