Work Experience
Collaborator & Internal Developer
Creations Sortilege
- Designed and built Arkanum, a Rust/Vue 3/Tauri desktop application for 3D file management (STL/3MF), production kanban, and filament inventory, including Three.js preview and SQLite FTS5 search.
- Built an n8n automation workflow bridging Shopify sales data to Trello via nightly cron polling, collection-filtered order matching, and automated card creation.
- Developed internal tooling for content generation and print preparation.
Senior Full-stack Developer
TLM
- Inherited a partially completed AngularJS to React modernization of a B2B SaaS platform and brought it to a stable, auditable, enterprise-grade platform.
- Reimplemented data table using React/TanStack Table from scratch to solve multiple layers of performance issues across the full codebase, in an application that is 70% data tables.
- Oversaw the transition of the full platform on upgraded infrastructure, then to Dockerized infrastructure with AWS, with zero downtime both times.
- Implemented and passed SOC II compliance for the platform, owning everything related both to code and to infrastructure, 3 years in a row.
Full-stack & Mobile Developer
Libeo
- Implemented COVI's privacy-preserving cryptographic contact tracing protocol in native iOS directly from the research white paper, in collaboration with a renowned AI research institute.
- Resolved a critical cross-platform interoperability gap by developing manual C-level cryptography with the CTO, enabling iOS and Android devices to exchange compatible encounter data.
- Built the full client-side risk pipeline for a decentralized architecture: DNS-based key distribution, Bluetooth proximity collection, and on-device risk comparison with no server-side exposure of personal data.
- Designed a bidirectional ELO engine for Boukili, an educational reading app, matching children to books of appropriate difficulty; each reading recalibrated both the child's level and the book's rating from real usage data.
- Drove Ionic Framework adoption at the CTO level, built all local build scripts, and managed App Store and Google Play deployments end-to-end.
- Delivered a corporate website solo in 150 hours (Drupal, PHP, Laravel) with no prior Drupal experience; code quality highlighted by the agency's senior Drupal developers.
- Maintained a major Canadian insurer's satellite site portfolio of multi-theme Drupal clones on a one-codebase, many-brands pattern.
- Managed email newsletter campaigns for a global pharmaceutical company over 8 months, handling content integration and delivery manually across recurring sends.
- Developed interactive mobile sales presentations in Veeva for the same global pharmaceutical client.
- Built a WordPress site with a fully custom in-house theme, developed from scratch rather than adapted from an existing template.
Programmer
Omnigate Systems
- Implemented KYC document collection and identity verification from scratch in Java for a cryptocurrency platform that previously had no compliance layer, enabling regulated client onboarding.
- Contributed across the platform's full Java codebase beyond compliance features, working within a production cryptocurrency trading environment.
- Built a serverless Node.js back end on AWS Lambda and API Gateway for a client rewards platform, with a local Mocha test suite for pre-deployment validation, and an early production adoption of serverless architecture.
Experience
Heritage Archives Patrimoine (HAP)
https://github.com/Morialkar/hapI designed and built the product solo, spec-first, and it is in active development: a Laravel 12/PHP 8.4 API on PostgreSQL 16 with PostGIS, and a React and TypeScript client built on TanStack Router and Query with Tabler UI, organized as a pnpm monorepo with a one-command Docker development stack, a Pest test suite, and CI. A Tauri 2 desktop app is planned as a later release. The project is released under AGPL-3.0 with a public architecture record and release plan documenting every technical decision.
