Hi,

Thanks for visiting my page. My name is Corey and I live up here in Canada in cozy Winnipeg, Manitoba.

I’m the Chief Technology Officer of Gustin Quon, a digital agency here in Winnipeg that works with local service businesses. I’ve been in the agency world for over 11 years, working on everything from SEO, paid advertising and analytics to websites, tracking and process development. We also run a grant company that helps businesses find and apply for grants, and a seminar business, so the tools I build usually end up shared across all of them. My favourite part has always been automation, finding the thing people do by hand every day and making it happen on its own.

I also build the technology for a healthcare clinic in Winnipeg. That means a bit of everything: an internal web app the staff run their day on, connections to all the outside systems they rely on, printing and barcode automation, and keeping about 50 computers, kiosks and printers running. Most days I’m the whole tech department.

These days a lot of my work is done alongside AI coding tools. I started with GPT-3 back when we were writing reports in bulk, and now I use Claude Code for most of my development. It lets one person build a lot more than I could before.

At home I’m usually tinkering with Home Assistant, which has grown to around 4,000 entities and 400 automations. The lights follow us from room to room based on presence sensors and shift colour through the day, the house flashes the lights when the Jets score, manages the ventilation for radon, reads the water meter with a camera in a coffee tin, waters the yard based on soil moisture and lights the way to the bathroom at night without waking anyone up. I even trained an AI clone of my voice, so the night before garbage day the house reminds us about the bins in my voice, with a different joke every week.

When I’m not at a keyboard you can find me travelling with Sydney, snowboarding, kayaking, or working on my car.

On this blog I share what I’ve been working on, what broke, and how I got around it.

Hope you enjoy my page!
