Top SchoolDrake Vu is a software engineer with a decade of experience building high-throughput, production-grade systems across backend, mobile, and firmware domains.

A Golang and Flutter enthusiast, he introduced company-wide Go blueprints, generics-based libraries, bi-temporal data models, and distributed rate limiters—demonstrating both architecture-level thinking and hands-on delivery.

Based in Toronto, he combines pragmatic performance engineering with a track record of shipping impactful cross-team products.
