Software developer
who ships the whole stack

Montreal · León · working across both time zones

I build the parts most people never see — .NET and Python services, REST and GraphQL APIs, data layers and the pipelines that ship them — plus the Android and Angular frontends that sit on top.

Skills & services

What I can
take off your plate

Full-stack coverage from the database up — with the delivery pipeline that keeps it moving after launch.

  • Backend & APIs

    REST and GraphQL services that third parties can build on without a support ticket. Clean persistence layers, sane migrations, versioning that does not break callers.

    • .NET
    • C#
    • Python
    • FastAPI
    • PostgreSQL
  • Data & automation

    Pipelines that collect, normalize and serve data nobody hands you on a plate — headless-browser bots, reference-data ingest, and queued background jobs.

    • SQLAlchemy
    • GraphQL
    • Selenium
    • ETL
  • Frontend engineering

    Angular applications with typed models, component-level styling and interfaces that hold their shape as the product grows — shipped in three locales when the audience needs it.

    • Angular
    • TypeScript
    • Blazor
    • RxJS
    • i18n
  • Desktop applications

    Windows software for the people who live in one screen all day — WPF on MVVM with a module container, and WinForms where the grid and reporting stack has to stay put.

    • WPF
    • XAML
    • Prism
    • WinForms
    • DevExpress
  • Mobile development

    Native Android built on MVVM with a reactive UI — from storyboard and use case through to a signed release on the Play Store.

    • Kotlin
    • Java
    • Android
    • Compose
    • MVVM
  • Testing & quality

    Executable specifications written from the user story down, unit, integration and property-based coverage on every commit, and end-to-end suites that drive the product through a real browser the way a user would.

    • Playwright
    • pytest
    • behave
    • Hypothesis
    • xUnit
    • Karma
  • Delivery & reliability

    Containerized deployments, CI/CD pipelines, internal package distribution, and load testing that finds the ceiling before your users do.

    • Docker
    • Jenkins
    • AWS
    • NuGet
    • Locust

Selected builds

Work that changed how a team ships, or what a product could do.

    Just in Time

    Travel product, solo build · 2023 — 2026

    A flight-deal valet taken end to end alone: headless-browser bots that track fares, a Postgres data layer published as its own Python package, a FastAPI and GraphQL backend behind Docker and automatic TLS, and an Angular front end shipped in English, French and Spanish.

    Control Room

    Web platform · 2025 — 2026

    MCDI Security Products

    A decade of operator screens moved off the Windows desktop and onto the web in Blazor: a multi-step registration wizard that validates as it goes, a theme editor the client controls without a developer, and localized admin grids over the same database the desktop suite still runs on.

    Package Pipeline

    Developer platform · 2024

    MCDI Security Products

    A private NuGet server and package strategy that let every team publish and consume shared .NET libraries instead of copying code between repositories.

    • .NET
    • NuGet
    • Jenkins

    Partner API

    REST service · 2023

    MCDI Security Products

    Migrate

    Internal tooling · 2022

    MCDI Security Products

    A database migration framework that made schema changes versioned and repeatable, taking the guesswork — and the human error — out of every release.

    • SQL
    • Tooling

    TCB

    Android app · 2020

How I work

From first call
to steady state

The same four steps on every engagement, so you always know what happens next and what it costs.

  1. 1

    Scope

    Understand the goal, the constraints and the systems already in place. You get a clear roadmap and a fixed number before anyone writes code.

  2. 2

    Architect

    Choose the stack, map the data, and decide where the responsibilities live. Most bugs are prevented here rather than fixed later.

  3. 3

    Build

    Small, tested increments behind CI. Unit, integration and regression coverage from the first commit, not bolted on at the end.

  4. 4

    Ship & hold

    Deploy, benchmark under real load, then stay on for the patches, updates and performance work that follow launch.
