Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick White is a freelance software engineer and founder of Kalanso LLC with 11 years of experience building web and mobile applications focused on long-term client value. He combines full-stack skills (JavaScript/ES6, Node.js, Ember, Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis) with user-centered design and JTBD thinking to guide projects from strategy through agile delivery. His development approach is informed by boots-on-the-ground problem solving from two Peace Corps tours, where he prototyped an SMS-based supply tracking system that reduced malaria medication stockouts in rural Guinea. Patrick prefers early strategic involvement and frequent user interviews, a practice he says consistently saves organizations months and tens of thousands of dollars. Based in Boston, he brings NGO and startup experience to resilient, low-cost technical solutions (including work with SMS, Unix hosting and DNS) and values building systems that thrive after handoff. Notably, his first production systems were engineered under severe constraints—dial-up-like connectivity and limited power—which shaped his pragmatic, resourceful engineering style.
