Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDerek Hemingson is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of full‑stack experience building high-performance, pragmatic systems for operations-heavy businesses. He excels at turning complex domain requirements into simple, fast, and scalable interfaces—most recently architecting a Go and WebSocket powered real-time booking and flight-update platform for Whistler Connection that delivers sub‑0.1s data responses across complex filters. Comfortable across front-end and back-end stacks (including .NET, Laravel, Golang and modern JavaScript), he has a track record of inventing reusable platform pieces like a dynamic SmartForm generator and internal libraries that become de facto framework modules. Derek blends a maker’s curiosity with production discipline: he improves data integrity with lightweight real-time systems and applies computational analysis to surface planning issues weeks in advance. A lifelong learner and creative polymath, his interests span visual and musical art to electrical engineering, which informs his pragmatic, cross-disciplinary approach to engineering problems. Based in North Vancouver, he balances startup-speed innovation with a history of long-term system ownership and measurable operational impact.
