Top SchoolDerrick Kearney is a web application developer with 11 years of hands-on experience building and operating Python-based services using Django, Flask, FastAPI and DRF. Based in Halifax, he combines full-stack development with DevOps ownership—managing Debian servers, automating updates with Ansible, and maintaining a strong security posture for long-running production systems. He has improved operational resilience (only a single incident since deployment), added timezone-aware features for global use, and built a document API that streamlined employee access to critical site information. Derrick's background in IT programming from NSCC and a decade-plus of solo consultancy work give him a pragmatic, product-focused approach to solving business problems. He’s comfortable bridging code, infrastructure and process to deliver reliable, auditable web applications for small and growing organizations.
