Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhilippe Aubertin is a senior software developer in Montreal with 17 years of engineering experience and a 14-year software development track record that spans embedded systems, FPGA design, and web backend for ecommerce. He has led payment integration and event-driven transaction processing initiatives at SSENSE, extracting payment logic from a monolith into DDD-aligned microservices, and now contributes at Lightspeed Commerce. His background includes low-level C servers for video-over-IP control, Python GUI tooling, and earlier VHDL/FPGA work enabling sub-frame video synchronization—skills that give him a rare fluency across hardware-near and cloud-native stacks. Comfortable in TypeScript, C, and Python, he moves between systems programming and backend architecture while mentoring small teams. A former lab instructor with award recognition, he combines disciplined engineering practices with a pragmatic focus on modernization and observability. He’s also an avid traveler, a detail that often informs his collaborative, culturally aware approach to cross-functional projects.
