I'm James Blanchard — an engineer who takes products from architecture through deployment on cloud-native, CI/CD-driven infrastructure. Full-stack across web and mobile, with AI-assisted development built into how I work every day.
I'm a software engineer who likes owning the whole lifecycle — designing the architecture, writing the code, wiring up the database, building the pipeline, and supporting it once it's live.
My stack is Cloudflare-native: serverless Workers, D1, R2, and edge deployment, with Flutter/Dart on mobile and JavaScript/TypeScript on the web. Everything runs through Git and automated CI/CD, and I use AI-assisted tooling — GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor — as part of standard daily practice.
I've shipped real products solo: a live group food-decision app, a published Play Store app, and a production admin platform. I learn fastest by building, and I do my best work on collaborative, remote teams.
A group food-decision app that helps people land on where to eat together. Flutter/Dart frontend backed by a microservice architecture of Cloudflare Workers, a D1 (SQL) database, and Durable Objects for real-time session state — integrating the Google Places and Anthropic APIs, deployed through CI/CD. One project that spans OOP, relational data, cloud, microservices, version control, and AI tooling end to end.
A production admin dashboard running on Cloudflare Workers and D1, with JWT authentication and a daily cron job that syncs analytics through the Cloudflare GraphQL API. Auto-deploys from GitHub via a CI/CD pipeline — a working example of a secure, cloud-native, microservice-style service.
A tip-calculator mobile app built in object-oriented Dart and published to the Google Play Store. I owned the full lifecycle — code, store listing, graphics, and beta testing — through public release.
A two-sided marketplace app connecting boat owners with boat-cleaning services. Working alongside the lead developer, I built frontend features and UI/navigation flows in Dart and JavaScript, and helped implement authentication for Google, Apple, and email sign-in. Contributed through pair programming, code reviews, and sprint participation in an agile team.
A website-build service delivering modern, responsive sites for small businesses end to end on Cloudflare Pages, with Git-based deployment. Covers the full build from design through shipping and hosting.
I'm open to remote software engineering roles and collaborations. If you're hiring or have a project in mind, I'd love to hear from you.
