Senior🎓
Top SchoolLouis St-amour is a seasoned software engineer with 12 years of cross-platform experience building production-grade web, native, and backend systems across finance, media, government, and libraries. He moves fluidly between front-end frameworks (React, TypeScript), backend services (C#, Go, Node, Python), and DevOps/SRE practices, having shipped high-traffic public apps such as Toronto Public Library’s responsive account system. Louis has a track record of modernizing legacy stacks—rewriting native mobile apps, porting apps to .NET Core and Docker, and introducing CI/CD and automation—and has deep practical experience in accessibility, performance, and deploy reliability. He contributes to tooling and packaging workflows (notably updating Homebrew casks and complex uninstall logic), demonstrating attention to operational detail beyond feature work. Comfortable as an individual contributor or senior developer coordinating teams, he pairs hands-on coding with process improvements like Scrum adoption and environment automation. Curious and pragmatic, he often digs into unfamiliar tech (from Oracle Commerce to C++ utilities) to solve hard production problems.
