Senior🎓
Top SchoolEdward Lim is an experienced software engineer with 11 years building resilient backend systems across finance, defense, and consumer tech, now contributing at Spotify in New York. He combines pragmatic problem-solving with a track record of migrating and modernizing critical systems—such as porting FX pricing and caching platforms from Python/C to Java with zero downtime. At Raytheon and UBS he delivered maintainable, high-performance services under strict operational constraints, and at Magnetic he focused on platform engineering that scales. Edward favors creative, practical solutions that balance engineering rigor with deliverability, and he’s comfortable working across languages and system boundaries. His grounding in Computer Science from SUNY Stony Brook and continuous learning (Coursera) reflect a disciplined, improvement-driven approach. Notably, he brings the discipline of mission-critical systems to consumer-scale product engineering, blending reliability with pragmatic innovation.
