Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolStéphane Charette is a seasoned C/C++ software developer with over 30 years of commercial experience building networked, embedded, IoT and desktop systems from his West Kelowna office. He has a strong Linux focus and practical expertise in computer vision and neural-net toolchains (Darknet/YOLO, OpenCV) used in robotic and drone proof-of-concepts. His work spans fast UDP-based file transfer libraries, real-time embedded network appliances, and reverse-engineering proprietary device protocols, demonstrating both low-level systems skill and applied problem solving. Stéphane contributes to open-source projects like Gramps, improving full-stack features from backend logic to frontend galleries, and routinely bridges C/C++ code with Python and web components. Comfortable as a long-term consultant, he blends hands-on coding with architecture and protocol design, and is willing to travel or work temporarily on-site without relocating. An interesting detail: he has repeatedly delivered cross-platform solutions (Linux, Windows, ARM, macOS, iOS) that required deep kernel, protocol and hardware reverse-engineering knowledge.
