Brian Lang

I am a Full-Stack Web Developer with nearly two decades of hands-on experience build websites, web applications, modernizing legacy systems, and crafting dynamic business tools.

For nearly 18 years at my last employer, I served as a full-stack developer bridging high-level business goals with robust technical solutions. Whether you need to streamline an internal workflow, integrate complex APIs, or overhaul an outdated platform, I bring deep technical precision, adaptability, and clear communication to every project.

Top Skills & Areas of Expertise

• Back-End Development: ColdFusion (CFML/CFCs), RESTful APIs (design & consumption), Node.js

• Front-End Development: JavaScript, jQuery, Next.js., React, HTML5, CSS, UI/UX refinement.

• Database Architecture: MS-SQL Server, MySQL, MongoDB.

• Legacy Modernization & Tool Evaluation: Transitioning legacy codebases to modern API-driven stacks and conducting enterprise tech evaluations.

Notable Achievements at Sovereign Management Group

• Automated Client Intake Workflow: Designed a dynamic lead-capture and CRM intake system using ColdFusion and jQuery, automating service-specific onboarding packages (PDF/email) that eliminated lost leads and reduced manual errors.

• Legacy-to-Modern Ecosystem Transitions: Architected the frontend migration of a legacy CRM using React and Next.js, backed by secure ColdFusion and Node.js REST APIs to boost system performance and load times.

• API-Driven Intranet & SOP Library: Engineered a decoupled intranet portal migrating thousands of paper binder procedures into a searchable WordPress/ColdFusion digital repository, alongside a daily staff portal powered by the WordPress REST API for 200+ employees.

• Rapid Delivery Under Pressure: Designed and deployed a complete freight tracking system from database schema to UI in under two months for the 2010 Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

What I Enjoy Working On I thrive on solving complex operational problems, turning messy, processes into clean, automated digital systems. I especially love tying systems together through consuming custom REST APIs with modern React/Next.js frontends, database-driven application development, and helping teams modernize legacy platforms without disrupting daily business.

When you work with me, you get more than clean, standards-compliant code; you get a collaborative partner who takes the time to understand your vision and deliver scalable results on time.
