rtorcato/README.md
Richard Torcato, senior full-stack developer

Senior Full Stack Application Developer · Shipping web and interactive applications

I'm a full-stack developer who has built internet and interactive applications for major Canadian corporations and marketing firms (IBM, Manulife, Flight Centre, and many more) since the late 90s. I run projects independently from concept through production deployment — backend, frontend, infrastructure, and design.

Today I work across the modern web stack (TypeScript, Next.js, React, Node.js) and Apple platforms (Swift / SwiftUI).
