Jordan Van Walleghem

• Solo developer, technical advisor, and product designer, responsible for the full development and architecture of the platform. • Tech stack: Next.JS, Typescript, Tailwind, ShadcnUI, Vercel, PostgreSQL • Built the product using Next.js/React, with Stripe handling payments, ensuring a low-maintenance, high-efficiency system. • The platform generates 800K+€ ARR while maintaining less than 5€ in monthly infrastructure costs and requiring only a few days of work per year. • Collaborate closely with the founder, who focuses on customer acquisition, while I challenge product ideas, define specs, design UX/UI (Figma, Tailwind, ShadCN UI), and implement features. • Ensured scalability and maintainability, creating a virtually maintenance-free system with minimal ongoing effort.

• Designed and led the development of an authentication bridge between Remote and Easop, adhering to OWASP security guidelines while learning Elixir to work within Remote’s codebase. • Tech stack: React, Node.JS, Typescript, GraphQL, Elixir, Terraform, AWS • Led the CI/CD and infrastructure migration from Easop to Remote, ensuring a smooth transition. • Maintained Easop's infrastructure during the transition to Remote, ensuring stability and continuity. • Integrated Remote’s dev tools (e.g., React component library) into the Easop app and aligned its UI/UX with Remote’s design system. • Contributed to new product features for Easop, maintaining and expanding its core functionality post-acquisition.

• First engineer hired after the CTO; wrote the first line of code and laid the foundation for the product. • Designed, proposed, and implemented the tech stack: TypeScript, React, Tailwind, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Terraform. • Built a cost-efficient, scalable infrastructure on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS Aurora Serverless V2, CloudFront) using Terraform, keeping costs within AWS Activate credits—allowing Easop to run entirely free until acquisition. • Set up CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and self-hosted runners, ensuring smooth and efficient deployments. • Developed core product features, including a legal documentation pipeline—from a UI enabling Easop lawyers to draft legal documents, to a microservice converting text into PDFs, to an app where users could sign agreements. • Designed and built authentication, adhering to OWASP security recommendations. Led security initiatives, responding to customer security questionnaires and ensuring compliance with best practices.

• Originally built V0 of Dealt as a side project while still in school. Recruited as CTO after Series A to lead the product rebuild and pivot from a B2C platform (similar to TaskRabbit) to a B2B API. • Led the full product and engineering team, overseeing strategy, development, and execution of the B2B API for major French retailers. • Rebuilt the entire product from the ground up, ensuring infinite and instant scalability to integrate seamlessly with large retail storefronts. • Designed a highly scalable architecture using AWS Lambda for serverless execution, with infrastructure managed via AWS CDK. • Tech stack: React (TypeScript), Node.js, Redis, PostgreSQL. • Ensured the platform could handle high demand and seamless API integrations, positioning Dealt as a key player in the retail automation space.

• Worked as part of a highly skilled and structured product team, growing from 5 to 25 members during my tenure. • Designed and contributed to a major app revamp following the company’s Series A, using Node.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, and React. • Collaborated on infrastructure efforts built on GCP and Kubernetes, gaining hands-on experience in cloud-native environments. • Developed and optimized product features, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and a seamless user experience.

• Co-designed and built a scalable, observable external API integration microservice with the CTO, making it easy to add new integrations. • Designed and developed the real-time chat microservice, which later handled millions of queries per day during major trade shows like VivaTech. • Led the revamp of the authentication service, enabling secure, passwordless authentication, while mentoring junior developers on best practices.

• Joined after the departure of the previous developer to continue and lead the full revamp of the company’s main accounting software, originally a 30-year-old thick client built with deprecated technologies. • Designed, proposed, and implemented a modern tech stack based on AWS, Node.js, and Angular, ensuring scalability and maintainability. • Onboarded a new developer and worked closely as a team to build out the new system.

• Developed backend features in Node.js and MongoDB, following guidance from the CTO and Lead Developer. • Discovered and reported a critical security flaw in the payment provider, helping prevent potential vulnerabilities. • Identified and fixed a major backend vulnerability that could have allowed users to withdraw more funds than permitted, potentially saving the company thousands or millions.
