Hi, I'm Lou

Backend engineer in Toronto with infrastructure depth. I have 5+ years of experience with .NET, SQL, APIs, and production systems, and recent work in Python, FastAPI, Terraform, CI/CD, AWS, and Google Cloud.

Much of my work crosses layers: application code, database queries, deployment, and runtime infrastructure.

Selected work

At Duotify, a project-based consultancy, I worked across 20+ client systems and maintained 12–14 at a time.

  • Emergency medicine association platform: During annual conference registration, cut admin workflows for about 3,000 members from 5–8 minutes and timeouts to about 5 seconds by moving multi-table queries into SQL Server stored procedures, views, and functions.
  • Finance: Took over a 40–50 API backend mid-project and built the company's first AWS dev/test environment so the team could work without access to the client's environment.
  • Developer infrastructure: Maintained GitLab CE and CI/CD for about 100–150 engineers across Linux, Windows, macOS, and mobile runners.

Since 2024, independent contract work: FastAPI/PostgreSQL backend restructuring, legal-document automation, and Terraform-based AWS and GCP delivery.

Public projects

  • AI Platform Portfolio: GCP, Terraform/OpenTofu, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Workload Identity Federation, and Argo CD, built to practice platform delivery and GitOps beyond my production work.
  • content-i18n: a Go CLI and MCP-compatible tool for multilingual content workflows, with validation, provider adapters, and batch orchestration.

Stack: C#/.NET, Python/FastAPI, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Terraform, AWS, GCP, GitHub Actions, Docker

Based in Toronto. Open to hybrid roles in the GTA and to remote roles.
