Summary
Neil Harvey is a seasoned software developer with 12+ years of experience building web and hybrid applications, GIS-enabled sites, distributed simulations, and data integration pipelines. Based in Gatineau, Quebec, he combines hands-on engineering with systems thinking—recent work includes Airflow-driven integrations between warehouse management systems, Cratejoy, and legacy subscription platforms, plus DropStream customizations for WooCommerce. His background spans full lifecycle delivery from requirements and RFC-led specification to automated testing and deployment, informed by M.Sc. training in computer science. He has implemented accessibility and internationalization work for public-facing sites, built data-extraction pipelines for public records, and developed simulation software used in research and reinsurance contexts. Comfortable across languages and stacks (C/GLib, Python, AngularJS, Ionic, WordPress/PHP, cloud services), he often bridges product, ops, and data teams to turn complex domain problems into reliable, auditable systems. A detail that surprises colleagues: he has applied the same engineering rigor to public-interest projects like tracking captive tiger populations and a long-running virtual-races mapping service.
