Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFrank Jia is a mobile developer with eight years of software engineering experience, currently building mobile experiences at Shopify from Greater Vancouver. He has a strong background in iOS engineering and cross-platform integration, having implemented a WebSocket GraphQL client, led React Native bridging experiments, and reduced a top crash contributor in a major app. His experience spans backend and infrastructure work as well—migrating high-load Java services to Kubernetes, implementing canary deployments with Istio/Envoy, and upgrading production data stores. Frank’s internships at SAP Concur, Redfin, and Grow show a pattern of shipping end-to-end features across mobile, microservices, and DevOps. He pairs an Engineering Physics foundation with an unusual early background in neuroscience and psychology, which informs a pragmatic, user-focused approach to product and performance. Known for taking ownership of complex migrations and release stability, he thrives at the intersection of native mobile and cloud-native backend systems.
