Oliver Barbeau

Golemtek (multi-tenant SaaS) — Minneapolis, MN

• Built and operate a multi-stage GitHub Actions pipeline (verify, integration, e2e) with schema-drift detection, gating merges to main on lint, type-check, and 8,600+ passing tests across 335 suites.
• Built a custom WebSocket relay (GM-authoritative broadcast model, token-based auth) to replace a paid SaaS dependency (Liveblocks); code-complete and integration-tested.
• Own delivery end to end, from a 49-model PostgreSQL schema and Prisma migrations through automated deploys; work AI-assisted daily (Claude Code) and manage Git branching and a PR-based workflow on every change.
• Tooling includes TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, Vercel, and GitHub Actions.

Salesforce (via Aditi Consulting) — Remote

• Sole developer of a learning simulation used by 10,000+ professionals, built in JavaScript and React from requirements through production deployment.

Centro Restaurant Group / Popol Vuh — Minneapolis, MN

• Automated cross-team workflows with Asana and Slack to standardize task tracking and communication across a multi-location rollout.
• Led a POS platform migration (Square to Brink via Olo) and day-to-day technology troubleshooting across four locations.

Oro by Nixta — Minneapolis, MN

• Fine-dining service at a James Beard Best New Restaurant finalist; clear communication and collaboration under pressure.

• Led a 4-person team through weekly SCRUM sprints to ship a tool that generates Parsons problems for standard Learning Management Systems.

• Built a C/GTK browser that isolates each tab in its own process over Unix IPC (fork/exec, signal handling, process lifecycle management), so one tab crashing never takes down the others.

• Built and deployed a full-stack web app to production on Vercel, with automatic deploys on every push to main and a PostgreSQL data layer.
