Summary
Brendan Barr is a pragmatic full stack developer with 11 years of experience building and launching web applications across government, healthcare, and startups from Calgary, Alberta. He has led teams and delivered multiple MVPs end-to-end, combining React front-ends with Node, Ruby on Rails, .NET backends and cloud deployments on AWS, GCP and Azure. Brendan excels at shipping practical solutions under tight timelines—standing up CI/CD pipelines, auth systems, and microservices while also improving legacy SharePoint and enterprise systems. He balances hands-on coding with mentoring and process improvements, having guided small teams through Agile delivery and conducted onboarding and training. A quietly useful differentiator: he’s comfortable moving between low-level modernization (COBOL-era systems, SharePoint customizations) and modern cloud-native stacks, making him effective in hybrid environments.
