Damon Turcotte

Full stack developer from Lethbridge, Alberta.

I know that full stack development often isn't seen as the "jack of all trades", but rather as the "master of none", so I'll address that first. In my case, a full tech stack has been a requirement, as I expect my work to match what I envision, which has meant customizing and configuring everything from user interfaces and APIs, to databases, security protocols and web servers.

What I've Built

My journey into tech began with an RPG game I developed using MIT's Scratch software.
Since then, I've built and fleshed out a social media platform - available at https://echonetwork.app - which also serves as an OIDC identity provider for the rest of my project's.
The most notable of my projects following that would be my personal portfolio website - available at https://turcotte.tech - for which I built a custom Content Management System that enables quick and intuitive creation of project wikis, video hosting, blogging and e-mail management through the client application's UI.

What's In Store

At the moment, my next project in line is Echo Scribe, a sibling site to Echo social network. The plan is so far is for the application to provide content hosting and management, which will include a refined version of the CMS built for my personal site, for blogging, video hosting, wiki-building and code sharing in a format fit for resource sharing and integration with it's sibling social media platform.

With sponsorship, I would be more free to pursue this in the short term, with one of my areas of long term focus involving novel applications of resource sharing and creative application of service-oriented architectures.

Regardless of what happens, that will likely remain a passion of mine, though sponsorship would allow me to maintain greater focus on these endeavors and help manage digital infrastructure costs.
