Hey there! I’m Cody Johnston — better known online as “The Weird Canadian.”
I’m a full‑stack developer from Newfoundland & Labrador who’s spent the last eight years crafting unconventional, results‑driven software for everyone from local startups to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation.

“I don’t just build software —I dive deep into organizational challenges to create solutions that genuinely optimize operations and improve outcomes.”

What I do

• Government‑grade systems: Led digital‑transformation projects that keep millions of Canadians moving.
• Creative problem‑solving: I mash business insight with code to turn complex ideas into sleek, scalable apps.
• Community & open source: Whether it’s a quirky Replit template or a late‑night PR, I love sharing weird experiments that help others learn.

AI‑Focused Tech I Enjoy
Python • PyTorch • TensorFlow • LangChain • OpenAI API • Hugging Face • Vector DBs (Pinecone, Weaviate) • Docker & Kubernetes (MLOps)

Outside the terminal you’ll find me sketching UI ideas on napkins, exploring Atlantic Canada’s rugged coastlines, or blogging about the oddities of software and life at theweirdcanadian.ca.

Let’s build something delightfully weird together — fork a repl, drop a comment, or just say hi!
