Summary
Simon Levesque is a seasoned software leader and tech lead with over a decade building full-stack, cloud-integrated platforms, currently driving DataEng services for MongoDB, Hadoop, Kafka and MQ at Morgan Stanley. A software engineer since childhood and a Polytechnique Montréal graduate, he designs and ships end-to-end systems—from REST services and CLIs to web UIs and integrations with change-management and permissions systems. He runs a personal consultancy and open infrastructure projects (Foilen) covering hosting, Docker-based server management, IPFS interfaces and DB admin tools, reflecting hands-on ops and product instincts. Comfortable across languages (Java, C#, Go, PHP) and ecosystems (big data, messaging, RDBMS/NoSQL), he pairs deep technical breadth with mentoring and technical writing—maintaining a tech blog, book and training videos. Notably, he has built internal self-service, cloud-like platforms for enterprise developers, turning complex orchestration and security requirements into usable developer tools.
