Open to part-time & remote roles

Hi, I'm Sara.
IT student & developer.

Second-year Information Technology student at SAIT in Calgary and creator of SemSync, a free app that helps students run their whole semester. I love building things, from Python automation to full apps.

01 — About me

Developer at heart, with a solid IT foundation.

I'm a second-year Information Technology diploma student at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) in Calgary, focused on building apps and websites. My main project is SemSync, a free app I designed and built that helps students manage their timetable, syllabus deadlines and grades in one place.

Before that, I spent a work term on the Local Area Network team at Shared Services Canada, writing Python scripts to automate network telemetry collection and log monitoring. That IT background means I understand what happens underneath the code: networks, servers and how things get deployed.

Right now I'm looking for a part-time or remote role where I can keep growing as a developer while I finish my diploma.

SemSync

Live on the web iPhone beta on TestFlight

A free campus app that keeps a student's whole semester in one place: timetable, syllabus deadlines, grades and chat.

Syllabus scanner
Grade calculator

Screens recreated from the SemSync 1.8.7 source code, shown with sample data.

The problem

Semester info is scattered everywhere

Students juggle timetables, syllabus PDFs, due dates and grades across different sites and apps. Deadlines get missed because they're buried in a syllabus nobody re-reads.

What I built

One app for the whole semester

A class timetable, a syllabus scanner that pulls out due dates automatically, grade tracking and chat, with selectable colour themes and real campus-style sign-up and profiles.

Key decision

Completely free to run

I built the scanner on a built-in engine with no paid services or API keys, so SemSync can scale to many students without costing them, or me, anything.

How I built it

From code editor to App Store beta

Written in VS Code with version control on GitHub. The server is deployed on Render, with my own domain, semsync.ca, set up through Cloudflare. The iPhone version is distributed to beta testers through Apple TestFlight.

Where I want to go next

I'm building my career toward software and app development. Here's the kind of opportunity I'm hoping to find.

A developer or IT role that fits around my classes. I'm available evenings and weekends through April 2027.

Web & app development

Front-end, full-stack and mobile work is where I want to grow, building the kind of things I built with SemSync.

A team to learn from

I want to work alongside experienced developers, write real code and ship features people actually use.

Full-time summer 2027

Once my diploma wraps up in April 2027, I'm available full-time from May through August.
