Canonical URL: https://thomas-jura.com/

Thomas Jura is a Vancouver-based Senior Full-Stack Product Engineer with commercial software experience since 2012. His work focuses on SaaS platforms, ecommerce payments, API architecture, integrations, Linux operations, load balancing, cybersecurity-aware engineering and practical AI-assisted delivery using tools such as OpenAI Codex, Claude and Gemini.

## Current Role

Thomas is living and working from Vancouver, Canada for Dieselmatic Digital as a full-time permanent employee. His role covers full-stack product engineering across architecture, backend, frontend, Linux servers, integrations, AI-assisted workflows and production ownership for a North American heavy-duty repair marketing platform.

## Selected Work

### Dieselmatic Digital

Built and evolved three product platforms: an API/data collector, a Customer Portal and DieselSites. Work includes architecture, backend, frontend, data flows, deployment, production maintenance and integrations with AgencyAnalytics, Google Cloud, Google Ads, Intercom, Stripe, HubSpot, Meta Ads, Fullbay, CallRail, Zoho and SendGrid.

### zgloszenia24.pl

Original SaaS product built from zero for the Polish market. It supports forms, reservations, ecommerce payments and customer workflows with Yii2, Docker, Codeception, TPay, Stripe, BLIK, SMSAPI, Mailgun and OpenAPI-related integrations. The platform processed roughly 4M USD in ecommerce transactions.

### SkiManager.eu

Vertical SaaS for ski and sport schools. The product covers multi-tenant reservations, instructors, reception/POS workflows, payments, settlement logic, SMS, PDFs, migrations, backups and seasonal load. The modernization path includes PHP 8.4, multi-tenant operations and long-term maintainability.

### TJSoft

Independent product and client work since 2014, including 15+ websites and systems maintained outside employment. Scope includes SEO, ecommerce, booking flows, installment payments, technical articles and long-term support.

## Independent Product Lab

Thomas has consistently built weekend and side projects as a way to learn new technology, test architecture ideas and challenge how far one senior full-stack engineer can move a product independently. Recent AI-assisted projects include Manager5, Square Shenanigans Arena and a House sorting quiz engine. Older projects are intentionally marked as non-AI work when they were created before AI-assisted programming became part of the workflow.
