Available to hire
I’m Etienne Fortier, a product-minded software engineer with hands-on experience delivering web applications end-to-end: building clean, responsive UIs (TypeScript/React), integrating REST APIs, and collaborating through Git workflows. Currently focused full-time on a personal SaaS-style management platform (architecture, database, backend APIs, and frontend).
I’m comfortable in distributed teams: code reviews, troubleshooting, clear documentation, and pragmatic problem-solving. I enjoy learning quickly, adopting cloud/CI/CD tooling, and delivering value through iterative improvements.
