Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFernando Chorney is a senior software engineer based in Winnipeg with 16 years of experience and a focused specialty in backend development, security automations, and scalable Python and Julia systems. He has driven reliability and speed improvements—such as 10x faster test suites, CI automation with GitHub Actions, and multi-threaded ML forecaster orchestration—across domains from GIS and telecommunications to power-grid machine learning. Fernando combines hands-on engineering (custom PyPI/cloud tooling, AWS stack builders, and database migration tooling) with operational ownership of production electricity bid systems. He led adoption of modern developer tooling and achieved full test coverage in multiple codebases, reducing risk while accelerating developer velocity. Now at GlitchSecure, he applies that blend of automation and security focus to harden and streamline workflows. A detail that often goes unnoticed: he refactored an open-source Julia dependency tool to add GitLab support, showing a pragmatic commitment to improving ecosystems beyond his immediate codebase.
