Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFarzad Shafiee is a Director of Software Engineering and principal software architect with 11 years of experience building and scaling full-stack platforms from startup to production-grade systems. He has repeatedly accelerated delivery by improving developer experience and CI/CD—cutting merge-to-production cycles from hours to minutes and enabling multiple daily releases across a large monorepo. Farzad’s hands-on background spans backend performance tuning (reducing API latencies from seconds to sub-200ms), frontend optimization, and infrastructure work around Docker, Kubernetes and pipelines. He’s led cross-functional teams through risky API deprecations and complex i18n rollouts while reducing build artifacts and container registry footprints by orders of magnitude. Based in Old Toronto, he combines product sensibility from prior VP/CTO roles with deep technical craft, often automating changelogs, feature-branch deployments and tooling that boost engineer satisfaction. Off the clock he jokingly claims he’s “not a talented chef,” hinting at a pragmatic, self-aware approach to leadership and craft.
