Summary
Ian Van Den Heuvel is a Senior Software Developer based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, with a decade of experience building modular, reusable web applications and APIs. He blends a systems administration and networking background with full-stack expertise—shipping React/React Native front-ends, Node.js tooling, and Go APIs to support scalable workflows. At Auvik and prior roles at BuySellAds, 500px, and Edusight he focused on refactoring for maintainability, instrumentation-driven metrics, and practical automation (including Slack-triggered DB commands and automated report generation). A natural problem solver and quick learner, he also brings a customer-service mindset honed from years in concierge roles, which helps him translate client needs into clear technical solutions. Outside work he’s into travel, ping pong, craft beer and gaming, and he favors elegant, reusable component design that reduces future technical debt.
