Summary
Will Fairclough is a seasoned software engineer and platform architect with 13 years of experience building SaaS products and mobile apps from the ground up. He has led teams to deliver resilient solutions—authentication, multi-tenant APIs, scalable full-text search, analytics dashboards, and CI/CD pipelines—using TypeScript, Node.js, Angular, Ionic, RabbitMQ, MongoDB and Docker on AWS/GCP. As a founding technical lead at SuiteSpot he designed integrations spanning SAML/SCIM, OneDrive, SOAP, SFTP/ETL and webhooks, and authored native Capacitor plugins to solve mobile-first challenges. His background also includes founding a publisher-facing SaaS that integrated ElasticSearch and cloud deployments, which he later exited to a consulting partner. Comfortable across front-end, backend, mobile and dev tooling, he pairs pragmatic engineering with product-focused client work. Based in Ottawa, he brings a mix of entrepreneurial grit, low-level systems experience and a penchant for building small developer tools (Rust CLI, CI automation) that accelerate teams.
