Available for Engineering Roles

Sean Floyd

I build reliable systems and optimise infrastructure that delivers real business value.

With deep expertise in Ruby/Rails and system optimisation, I bring pragmatic solutions to complex technical challenges. As a Canadian and French citizen working remotely, I combine global perspective with local presence in North America and Europe.

Currently exploring new opportunities where I can make meaningful impact through measured improvements and real results.

Recent Impact

I take complex technical challenges and solve them pragmatically. At Hivebrite, I:

  • Architected and optimised data exports, reducing processing time by 98% for communities with 1M+ users
  • Rebuilt CI/CD infrastructure, cutting build times in half while reducing costs
  • Streamlined developer environment setup from days to hours through practical tooling
  • Led critical infrastructure cost optimisation initiatives saving €160k annually

But the numbers only tell part of the story. What really drives me is seeing the impact of my work - whether that's helping a client successfully export their data, making deployments more reliable, or helping colleagues be more productive.

How I Work

  • Finding the simplest solution that works
  • Making sure we're solving actual problems
  • Building systems that are easy to understand and maintain
  • Documenting the "why" behind technical decisions
  • Making observability a priority - I build dashboards that help teams understand system behavior
  • Using data to guide optimisation decisions rather than gut feelings

What I'm Looking For

  • Solve interesting technical challenges that matter
  • Work with teams that value pragmatic solutions
  • Continue growing and learning new technologies
  • Have direct impact on business success

Work Environment

I enjoy startup and scaleup environments where I can work with small, capable teams. I value autonomy, trust, and the ability to directly see the impact of my work - whether through metrics, user feedback, or team productivity. My approach focuses on gradual, measured improvements rather than risky rewrites.

Work Preferences

I prefer fully remote work with occasional office visits for collaboration and team building.
