About
I’m a software engineer in Montreal with five years of experience. For the last four, I’ve been at Altitude Sports building the distributed order-management, payments and fulfillment systems behind two ecommerce storefronts.
I work across the stack, from event-driven Python services on Kubernetes to the React application every customer-experience agent uses daily. Most recently I co-built an in-house order platform to replace a third-party system, and designed the backfill that moved more than 20 million rows of order data onto it.
Outside of work I design and ship my own products, including WedKit, a wedding website builder with 4,000 monthly active users, and Strobe, a golf swing analyzer for iPhone. I work in English and French.

An in-house order platform

Order search
Replaced a bottlenecked order-filtering system with Algolia search, so any squad can find an order by address, phone or customer.
