Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Maguire is a Senior Software Developer with 13 years of experience building high-throughput, low-latency systems and critical communications platforms, currently based in Parksville, BC. Deeply rooted in Erlang and Elixir, he pairs functional-concurrency expertise with practical AI and Python work—recently shipping a RAG chatbot and infrastructure on AWS with OpenSearch and LangGraph. His background includes architecting a multi-hospital audit data warehouse and operating OpenRTB bidding systems that handled millions of requests per second, giving him rare experience at both extreme scale and mission-critical reliability. Comfortable across the stack, he moves between systems engineering (Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker) and data pipelines (Python ETL, Redshift, S3), and he brings an operator’s mindset to development. Colleagues know him for clear documentation, pragmatic problem-solving, and quietly improving team culture (he even advocated Friday social hours to build rapport). His long-standing love of Erlang and penchant for coding for fun hint at a developer who loves elegant concurrency as much as solid production results.
