Full Stack Software Developer @Equator

Waterloo, ON, CA

As a Full Stack Software Developer at Equator Studios, I led the development of innovative mapping and AI-driven tools that streamline workflows for professionals worldwide. I built our flagship AI proposal creation tool from the ground up, designed and deployed internal and production servers, and created a custom UI framework that powers both our GIS mapping and AI applications. My work involved building functional and accessible interfaces, integrating AI technologies such as ChatGPT, Qdrant, image generation, and geospatial models, as well as implementing Stripe payment systems. I also gained hands-on experience with deployment pipelines, Docker, Linux/Ubuntu, GitLab CI/CD, and server/domain setup. In addition to deepening my expertise in JavaScript, React, Express.js, FastAPI, and MongoDB, I spearheaded the development of reusable UI libraries, guided other developers through onboarding, and established internal tools and processes to support efficient collaboration.
