Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJean-francois Couture is a seasoned software developer and technical leader with 17 years of experience building and scaling products across startups, enterprise and his own bootstrapped business. He combines hands-on full‑stack engineering (React/TypeScript, Ruby on Rails, Go, Node.js) with infrastructure and devops expertise—Terraform, Kubernetes and GCP—to deliver production-grade systems. As an early engineer and hiring lead he grew teams, established CI/CD and architecture foundations for enterprise customers, and later helped modernize large platforms at Shopify. Comfortable shifting between tactical delivery and strategic technical leadership, he organizes cross‑org knowledge sharing and drives migrations to faster rendering and GraphQL APIs. Based in Montreal, he pairs pragmatic engineering with business alignment from years consulting for clients in construction, ecommerce and SaaS. An uncommon strength: he’s successfully marched a product from consulting and bootstrapping to hire-and-scale, so he understands both coder-level tradeoffs and company-building constraints.
