Deric Fagnan is a full stack developer with about a decade of hands-on experience building web applications and a background in computer hardware engineering from the University of Alberta. He has shipped product-focused features at startups and scale-minded teams including Montra and YC-backed Hatchways, regularly opening, reviewing, and merging pull requests in fast-paced environments. Deric approaches engineering with a craftsman’s mindset—drawing on experience in carpentry, welding, and fabrication—to prioritize usability and business impact alongside technical quality. Comfortable across the stack, he emphasizes thinking like the user to improve UX and align code with product goals. Fun but telling detail: he’s a big fan of multi-cursor editing in VS Code, reflecting a preference for efficient, precise workflows. Based in Alberta, Canada, he’s actively seeking his next developer role where he can contribute immediately.
