Carrière
Senior Full-Stack Developer & Independent Consultant
Building enterprise SaaS, cloud-native backends, and distributed systems — spanning offline-first mobile, GCP, AWS, and self-hosted on-premise infrastructure.
Building Systems
That Last
Full-stack developer with 15+ years of experience designing and delivering enterprise-grade applications — from high-traffic CMS platforms to real-time manufacturing execution systems.
I specialize in Angular, TypeScript, NestJS, and Firebase, with deep experience in cloud architecture, real-time systems, DevOps pipelines, and CRM/ERP integrations. Currently Senior Developer at Damotech, I design end-to-end platforms spanning offline-first mobile apps, live production dashboards, serverless Firebase backends, and self-hosted Kubernetes clusters.
I bring both hands-on technical depth and leadership experience, having led engineering teams and driven architecture decisions on mission-critical, high-throughput systems.

Key Projects
A selection of enterprise platforms built and shipped end-to-end.
Warehouse Safety Inspection Platform
Cross-platform web + iOS + Android SaaS for industrial warehouse racking safety audits, issue tracking, and repair management. Built as an offline-first field tool enabling inspectors to work without connectivity, with bidirectional sync running in background threads.
- Offline-first sync via IndexedDB (Dexie), Web Workers (Comlink) & Firebase Firestore — full bidirectional sync with no connectivity required
- Purpose-built 2D canvas rendering engine for interactive warehouse floorplan & rack elevation visualization with zoom, filtering, and drill-down flows
- 20-step event-driven import pipeline via Google Cloud Pub/Sub choreography, ingesting CSV/ZIP/DXF bundles into Firestore with per-step concurrency tuning.
- Bidirectional HubSpot CRM & NetSuite ERP integrations with HMAC-verified webhooks and nightly sync
- 10-module Firebase Cloud Functions Nx monorepo — 200+ serverless functions across HTTPS, Pub/Sub, Cloud Scheduler, and Firestore triggers
- Multi-tenant RBAC with Firebase custom claims — API key, Bearer JWT & session cookie auth modes
Manufacturing Execution System
Real-time MES managing the full production order lifecycle for two industrial manufacturing plants (Boisbriand, QC & Moberly, BC) — from drawing intake through packaging and shipping. Twelve specialized workstation UIs covering every stage of the production floor.
- WebSocket + polling hybrid with Socket.IO, JWT auth, and RxJS debounced re-fetches for live production floor updates
- Production KPI dashboards across 2 manufacturing plants (Canada & US) — daily throughput, EU backlog, and per-operation capacity across 30+ configurable production routes spanning welding, cleaning, robotic assembly, packaging, and shipping stations
- Microsoft Active Directory integration, JWT issuance & refresh token rotation
- CAD file generation pipeline
- NetSuite ERP integration (SuiteQL + REST)
Kubernetes & DevOps Platform
Self-hosted Kubernetes platform (k3s + Rancher) on Proxmox VMs running dev, staging, and production environments for the full enterprise stack. Fully automated GitOps CI/CD from image push through zero-downtime production deployment.
- GitOps with ArgoCD + ArgoCD Image Updater — automated continuous delivery from GCR digest changes with prune and selfHeal enabled
- Kustomize base/overlay structure for environment-specific patches (hostnames, TLS, PVC bindings, image tags)
- External Secrets Operator with namespace-scoped SecretStore and least-privilege RBAC — zero plaintext secrets in Git
- Traefik ingress with Let's Encrypt TLS (Cloudflare DNS-01, zero public port exposure), sticky sessions for Socket.IO, path-based SPA + API routing
- GitHub Actions pipeline: image pre-fetch on PR open, zero-downtime nginx reload for WebSocket continuity, rolling updates via self-hosted runners
- Containerized Jenkins CI (JCasC, Active Directory auth) with custom Playwright, Gauge, and Python 3.13 build agents
High-Volume CMS & Microservices Platform
Built and scaled a custom CMS powering hundreds of high-traffic client websites, processing millions of daily requests. Over 7 years at Seedbox Technologies, led the architecture evolution from a PHP monolith to a Service-Oriented Architecture across AWS and on-premise Linux infrastructure, ultimately taking on the engineering team lead role.
- Custom CMS serving hundreds of client sites at millions of daily requests — architected for high availability with a core focus on sub-100ms response times
- Drove the migration from legacy monolith to Service-Oriented Architecture, decomposing into independently deployable Golang and PHP services
- RESTful and GraphQL web services on AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, AppSync, DynamoDB, CodePipeline) and on-premise infrastructure
- Maintained complex database architectures across MySQL with Memcached caching layers, managing hundreds of millions of records
- CI/CD pipelines via Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline, and Travis CI — automated testing and zero-downtime deployments across all client environments
- Integrated Docker throughout the development lifecycle for environment parity; partnered with SysAdmins on server architecture and security hardening
