Vertex Group turns ideas, prototypes and manual work into secure, reliable software that teams and customers use every day. Web apps, backends, cloud and AI, for businesses of any size.
Taking on 1–2 new clients · Toronto and remoteYou know your business and your customers. I handle the part that makes software dependable: servers, data, security and the AI plumbing.
You have a prototype, a script or a ChatGPT workflow that works. I turn it into a product your staff and clients can rely on.
The services behind your website and apps: built to handle many customers, fail safely and be easy to change later.
Hosting that's secure, monitored and repeatable, in a Canadian region when your clients or government work require it.
Replace the spreadsheets and copy-paste that slow your team down with small tools that just work.
Every project starts with a short, fixed-price discovery, so you know the plan and the price before committing to a build.
I review what you have, talk to the people who'll use it, and give you a written plan with a fixed price for the build.
A working version your team uses on real jobs, delivered in weekly milestones you can see and test.
Hosting, monitoring, fixes and new features, with a clear monthly scope and no surprises.
I'm a backend and platform engineer in Toronto, and Vertex Group is my registered Ontario business. By day I build a multi-tenant enterprise SaaS platform that runs on Kubernetes for many customers. Before that I built Java microservices on Kafka and Cassandra for ESG reporting.
I care about systems that fail safely, software that's hard to misuse, and numbers that prove a change worked. Outside work I build things to understand them: a database engine, a demo bank, a private voice app for the Mac, and a browser game.
I'm a self-starter who learns fast and takes ownership. When something breaks, I fix the cause, not just the symptom.
You do. Everything I build for you, including the code, designs and data, belongs to you once it's paid for. I keep only my general tools and know-how.
Yes, before we get into details if you'd like.
A short update every week, a working version you can try at each milestone, and one place to ask questions any time.
Discovery is a fixed price. Builds are split into milestones: a deposit to start, then a payment as each milestone is delivered. You get proper invoices from a registered Ontario business.
Yes. I can take one piece, like the hosting or the AI, and fit into how your team already works.
Yes. That's what discovery is for: we turn the idea into a plan, a scope and a price before anything gets built.
Yes. Fixes, integrations and small tools are all welcome.
