I've worked fully remote since 2018 — five of those years as a Senior Software Engineer for a Montreal-based SaaS company, collaborating daily across timezones. Distributed work isn't an adjustment for me; it's how I've always operated.
I care about owning problems end to end: I've architected AI features from design through production, owned frontend and backend architecture, and mentored developers through code reviews, CI/CD adoption, and sprint planning. I like shipping things people use every day — and being able to explain, honestly and specifically, why they work.
