SCOTT HORLACHER

Vancouver, British Columbia

You've reached the online CV of Scott. An all around problem-solver that enjoys building tech using the latest in web-technologies. In search of new full-time and contract opportunities where I can gain experience working with new teams, and management styles. Presently I rely on Typescript, React + NextJS, NodeJS, SQL to deliver app experiences and use Kubernetes + Docker to deploy high availability APIs (REST/GraphQL) on a variety of cloud platforms (AWS, OVH and bare-metal). I'm actively searching for new projects to apply my skills in UI/API development as well as DevOps.


Outside of freelancing and developing private apps for clients (Shopify Apps, MS Teams Apps, Custom Rewards Programs, QR Code generators), I've spent the last 2 years developing a LinkedIn marketing platform called Sonity. The crux of my LinkedIn automation tool uses Selenium web automation to manage LinkedIn outreach. It's used primarily by professional types to promote their services and boost their sales -- but it's also a great data-mining endeavour. The app is growing -- I'd be happy to book a demo.


Although my trade is software development, I was formally educated in Electrical Engineering and frequently find myself working on IoT projects. Research-wise -- I try and keep up to date with topics and applications in AI, distributive systems, blockchain and have authored intellectual property pertaining thereto.
