Emin Girgin

Web Developer

I build internal full-stack web tools at Newmar Window Manufacturing in Mississauga, Ontario, supporting day-to-day work across manufacturing, quality assurance, HR, and field service.

A short summary

I work primarily on internal web applications used by people on the production floor, in the field, and in back-office functions at Newmar Window Manufacturing. The work spans the full stack: relational database design, server-side application logic, REST API endpoints, and the browser-side interfaces people use every day. Most of what I build replaces spreadsheet workflows and paper forms with structured, queryable data. I favour straightforward technology choices that a small team can maintain over time: server-rendered pages where they fit, single-page interfaces where they add value, and SQL-first data modelling over premature complexity. The same instincts shape how I approach new problems: design the schema first, write SQL you can read six months later, and ship the smallest thing that solves the real workflow.
