Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGilbert Lavergne-shank is a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer based in Ottawa with 11 years of experience building customer-facing web platforms and payment systems. He leans toward front-end development but regularly owns end-to-end delivery, having implemented React front ends, Go back ends, and MySQL data stores to dramatically shorten client onboarding and account creation times. At IBM he led a six-person team, made architectural decisions, and drove test coverage from 0% to over 90%, combining product thinking with rigorous engineering discipline. More recently at Facet he created end-to-end Puppeteer test suites and shipped features that moved processes from days to hours—work that speaks to his focus on measurable business impact. Now at Okta, he continues to blend UI craftsmanship with backend reliability, mentoring others while shipping production-grade systems. An early adopter of modern front-end stacks, he pairs attention to accessibility and reusable UI components with pragmatic backend design.
