Summary
Dan Sotnik is a Senior Full Stack Developer based in Ottawa with six years of experience building high-performance web applications and warehouse management systems. He combines front-end finesse—delivering UIs that maintain 60+ FPS under heavy component load—with backend and cloud expertise, having optimized APIs, reduced Lambda costs, and automated deployments with Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform. At OTR he drove browser virtualization improvements and robust JWT-based security patterns that eliminated known incidents, and he has led teams and process improvements that accelerated delivery and raised KPIs. Now focused on core warehouse workflows like auth, roles, and pick-and-pack at OrderGrid, he brings a pragmatic, product-minded approach informed by earlier supply-chain roles in the automotive sector. Notably, his background spans both purchasing operations and deep engineering, giving him a rare ability to translate complex domain requirements into efficient, production-ready systems.
