I've built and maintained production systems for billion-dollar companies, national organizations, and multi-location franchise networks — as the primary technical person, not as one developer on a large team.
Not portfolio pieces. Not mockups. Systems that handle real transactions, real users, and real consequences.
MTY Group operates 80+ restaurant brands across Canada — Café Dépôt, Baton Rouge, Madisons, Ben & Florentine, Sushi Shop, Valentine, Manchu Wok, Mr. Sub, and dozens more. Publicly traded on the TSX.
Three custom systems for MTY's restaurant network, all sole developer, all still running. A gift card and loyalty plugin powering 28 brand sites from one codebase — on-the-fly PDF and barcode generation, per-brand templates, WooCommerce integration. A geolocation and menu engine that finds the visitor's nearest franchise from 80+ locations client-side and surfaces that location's full menu via a dynamic carousel — the system behind valentine.ca and other MTY sites. And a bilingual Quebec-wide QR redemption platform for Mike's/Molson — province-wide rollout, real-time fraud prevention, franchise-level reporting.
Macros Inc. is a fitness technology company building apps, APIs, and marketing infrastructure at scale. Jay Woith, CEO.
I'm not a vendor they call when something breaks. I'm the person who knows their stack, their history, and their roadmap. Over six years I've touched every layer of their technology — from server infrastructure and custom APIs to web properties and marketing automation. They've grown their company in that time with zero unplanned downtime.
Solargraf is a platform serving solar installation professionals across multiple countries, operated by Enphase Energy — one of the world's leading solar technology companies, publicly traded on NASDAQ.
A modern headless web platform built on WordPress as a CMS with a Next.js 15 frontend — serving solar installation professionals across multiple international markets in multiple languages. I have full-stack ownership: root-level AWS EC2 infrastructure, the Next.js application, the WordPress CMS and custom API, and all third-party integrations. When the platform has a problem, I'm the person who fixes it.
Most agencies put a project manager between you and the developer. You explain your problem, it gets translated, mis-translated, and eventually something ships.
With me, you talk to the person building it. I understand your business problem first, then figure out the technical solution. And when something goes sideways at 11pm, you're not waiting for a ticket to be triaged.
Email me. I respond within the hour, often faster. No account manager, no support queue, no "I'll pass this on." The person who answers is the person who built it.
Detailed proposals before any project starts. Phased delivery with distinct deliverables. Written specs. Cost alternatives. You always know what you're getting and what you're paying before you commit.
I've conducted security audits using penetration testing tools. I know how systems get compromised because I've done it — with permission. That knowledge is built into everything I build and host.
I'm still responding to clients who emailed me three years ago as if we spoke yesterday. That's not a service level — it's just how I operate. The goal is a relationship, not a closed ticket.
"Jer has been our primary technical person for six years. He built and maintains our infrastructure — from our APIs and database systems to our web properties and marketing technology. In that time, we've grown our company and had zero unplanned downtime. He responds immediately when it matters, explains things clearly, and has never let us down. For a company at our scale, that kind of reliability and communication is everything."
I don't do proposals before conversations. Tell me the problem, and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.
