Summary
David Florez is a Frontend Developer and self-taught full-stack engineer with 13 years of professional experience and a strong business background, now based in Waterloo, Ontario. He has built mission-driven web applications across freelance, startup, and contract roles—most recently as a frontend developer at GBL after seven years as a full-stack engineer at Beyond Colombia. Skilled in Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, and JavaScript frameworks, he combines hands-on coding with product-minded thinking from prior roles in commercial leadership and founding a startup. His trajectory blends operations and technical delivery—having served as operations manager and head of commercial—so he’s comfortable translating business needs into shipped features. A Conestoga College diploma in Computer Programming formalized his late-career technical pivot, reinforcing an appetite for continuous learning and fast adaptation. He’s eager to contribute practical, impact-focused software to the Canadian tech ecosystem.
