Software Developer
Results-oriented software developer with 5+ years of experience in various technical roles. Skilled in full-stack technologies including Python, JavaScript, and SQL. I have a passion for building digital solutions that help solve real-life problems.
About Me
Hi there, my name is Pierre Goaer, I'm a software developer and here is my story.
I've always had a passion for solving problems and trying to understand how things work. This naturally led me to pursue mechanical engineering as a career and after graduating from my Master's at INSA Lyon (France), I got right to work with Claas Tractor .
I ultimately moved to Canada and worked for almost 3 years as a digital project manager. Being a problem-solver at heart, I decided to go back to something that is more engineering-oriented and learned how to code.
I am currently based in Toronto, Canada, but am available anywhere on the internet.
