Available for select projects
I'm Mark Shaw, a Calgary, Alberta web developer and software engineer with PEI roots. I build software and AI systems that help businesses sell more, save time, and replace work that should not be manual. As organizations grow, valuable information gets trapped between systems, departments, and people. I use AI and automation to glue it back together.
01 / WAYS TO HIRE ME
Clear starting points for common projects. After a short conversation, you get a concrete scope, price, and delivery plan.
Basic website
A focused one-page site using a proven structure, responsive layout, your core content, contact call-to-action, basic technical SEO, and deployment.
Automation sprint
API integrations, reporting pipelines, notifications, data imports, scheduled tasks, and practical AI-assisted workflows.
Business website
Positioning, copy structure, responsive design, contact or booking flow, analytics-ready events, technical SEO, and deployment.
Custom web application
Customer portals, dashboards, booking systems, workflow software, administration tools, ecommerce, and focused MVPs.
AI integration pilot
I map the workflow and permissions, connect the right systems, build a secure AI-assisted process or agent, keep humans in control where needed, and measure whether it actually saves time or improves decisions.
AI transformation engagement
For organizations where valuable information is trapped between systems, departments, and people: multi-system integration, internal knowledge agents, workflow orchestration, access controls, governance, rollout, training, and measurable adoption.
02 / WHAT YOU ARE BUYING
Bring me a bottleneck, an idea, or a system that has outgrown its current setup. I’ll help define the smallest useful version and build from there.
A clearer offer, stronger calls to action, and fewer dead-end visits.
Automate the manual steps that consume payroll and create avoidable errors.
Tools shaped around how your business operates instead of forcing another awkward workaround.
Clear scope, direct communication, working milestones, deployment, and documentation.
03 / PROOF & PROCESS
My robotics competition platform handles event setup, scheduling, judge scoring, rankings, brackets, exports, and live displays.
That project reflects how I work: understand the operation, build around the real workflow, test the failure cases, and stay responsible through launch.

I grew up in Crapaud, Prince Edward Island, where early websites, community technology work, and Skills Canada PEI competitions turned an interest in computers into a career.
My path continued through Holland College and software and infrastructure roles in Charlottetown before taking me to Calgary, Alberta. I now work with clients in Calgary and remotely across Canada while continuing to support Skills robotics work connected to PEI, Alberta, and the national competition.

I build my own public tools and contribute to projects started by other developers. Choose a project with your coffee or sandwich and I’ll direct the support toward time on that work.
04 / START A CONVERSATION
A useful first message is enough. Tell me what is happening now, what you want to happen instead, and any timing or budget constraints you already know.
