About Me - Kirk Ford

Kirk Ford

Hello! My name is Kirk Ford (He/Him/il) and I am a Canadian AI engineer, professional dancer/choreographer, and audio artist working out of Saskatoon, SK - Treaty 6 Territory.


I am currently an AI Software Engineer at SingleFile, where I build AI-powered legal tech solutions. Previously, I developed LLM-powered applicant matching systems at Immigrate Software and created automated legislative briefing tools for the Senate of Canada.


I received my Bachelor of Science with Great Distinction in Computer Science (minor in Creative Writing) from the University of Saskatchewan in 2023, and completed a Software Engineering diploma from BrainStation in 2024 - where my team won the TELUS x BrainStation Hackathon!


I am a Yamaha method trained pianist and professional dancer/choreographer. I make music under the moniker WILFORD. (Spotify) / (Apple Music) / (Bandcamp)


Tech: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Three.js, LLMs/AI, PostgreSQL
