About Me
I'm Ian Middelkamp, a Senior Software Engineer based in Toronto. I specialize in full-stack development, databases, and system architecture. I began building internal software independently at a non-technical company, where I designed and implemented systems that transformed core business operations, from sales pipelines and service logistics to employee onboarding. Today, I focus on building scalable, maintainable systems that solve real operational problems.
