Hi, I'm Greg
I’m a developer and consultant based in Regina, Canada. I’ve spent most of my career working in and around startups — either as a founder or early-stage contributor.
My degree is in marketing but I’ve been writing code professionally for most of my career. That blend of product, business, and engineering has shaped how I work - I’m happiest when building software that solves real problems and is fun to use.
I mostly work under the banner of Greg Hluska Consulting , where I help early-stage startups with development, planning, and execution. Sometimes that means working deep in the backend, sometimes it means leading projects, and sometimes it means building entire products from scratch. Part of being a product focused consultant is needing to stay sharp and create opportunities where I can test things out. And so, I maintain a variety of products and/or projects that aren't quite anything yet.
My personal projects include Formimp (a privacy-first form delivery tool) and Siteimp (a web performance and accessibility testing tool). Right now, I’m also building Fitness Tracker , a privacy-respecting desktop app to help people measure and improve their fitness in ways that feel sustainable.
How I work
I’m most comfortable in a Linux environment, usually working with Docker and AWS. I care a lot about accessibility, performance, and writing code that’s boring in the best way — easy to read, easy to maintain. My path has taken me into Windows development over the last year and Fitness tracker is going to launch for Windows in 3Q 2025 and later on for Apple and Linux.
I don’t chase hype. I’m not into buzzwords. I prefer tools that last and processes that make sense. And synergy...lots and lots of synergy with blockchain.
What I value
Most of my best work comes from caring about people — users, clients, and collaborators. I want the things I build to be respectful of people’s time, attention, and privacy.
That’s why I write privacy policies in plain English, avoid analytics by default, and build tools that don’t rely on user data to function.
Outside of work
I’m a parent, and that’s probably the most important thing about me. My kid and I spend a lot of time together — going for walks around downtown Regina, gaming, or just goofing off. It keeps me grounded and reminds me why I try to build sustainable systems instead of chasing growth for its own sake.
If any of that resonates — or if you’re working on something interesting — feel free to reach out. I like meeting thoughtful people.
