The Fergy Stack

Linux at the desk, adventures on the table.

About

I’m a frontend architect focused on React modernization, with 20+ years in software engineering. I like turning messy systems into something teams can ship and maintain without burning out.

Outside of work, I’m an avid gamer—especially tabletop board games and Pathfinder RPG—and I’m deep into aviation.

Funny enough, aviation started for me on an Xbox. Flight sim pulled me in, and it escalated from there into real-world flying, community building, and eventually creating the tabletop ANDROID brand as my way of making a mark on the industry.

What drives a lot of what I do now is one goal: connect flight simmers to real-world aviation—bridging the passion people discover in a simulator to the skills, mindset, and pathways that exist in the cockpit.

And at the center of everything: my family—my wife (from Quebec) and our three kids. They keep me grounded and remind me why building a good life matters more than building anything else.

Built on Cartoons and Cereal

I’m a child of the 90s, and my formative years involved an unreasonable amount of after-school and weekend cartoons. If you catch references showing up in my articles, that’s intentional. Favorites include Transformers (G1), G.I. Joe, DuckTales, and Darkwing Duck.
