Nathaniel Faries

I'm a senior software engineer based in Toronto with ten years of experience across startups, fintech, and enterprise. I help organizations stop losing hours to manual processes and outdated systems. If your team is buried in spreadsheets, fighting with a CRM that doesn't talk to your other tools, or running on infrastructure that keeps you up at night, that's what I fix.

Workflow automation: Donor acknowledgments, grant tracking, volunteer onboarding, merchant onboarding. I build the pipelines that remove the busywork so your team can focus on the mission.

Cloud and infrastructure: Migration to AWS or GCP, Kubernetes orchestration, CI/CD pipelines, and cost optimization. I've cut cloud bills by 89% with smart caching architecture and I bring that same discipline to every engagement.

Databases and integrations: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server. CRM setup, data migration, reporting dashboards, and the plumbing that connects your systems into something that actually works together.

I'm particularly interested in working with non-profits, charities, and small organizations that need IT services but can't justify a full-time hire. You shouldn't have to choose between a functioning tech stack and your program budget. That's where I come in.

I'm available for contract and project-based work in Canada, and comfortable with both remote and on-site engagements in the Toronto area.

Whether you need a one-time system overhaul or ongoing technical support, I'd love to hear about what you're working on. Let's talk about how better tools can serve your mission.
