Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFraser Hemphill is a Senior Engineering Manager with 11 years of experience leading engineering teams and scaling acquisition-focused systems at Canva from Austin. He combines deep technical breadth—Python, JavaScript, Go, ML, video compression, data engineering and AWS—with hands-on founder instincts proven by building CovidQueue in a weekend that served millions and helped accelerate vaccinations across Sydney. Fraser previously founded Bitrite, where his ML-driven interframe video compression reduced bitrates by 30–70% and was acquired by a deca‑unicorn, showing a knack for turning research into valuable IP. Comfortable across product, infrastructure and ML stacks, he moves fluidly between strategy and implementation and favors cost-efficient, high-throughput solutions (Cloudflare Workers hosting at $12/month is one example). Educated in electrical engineering at UNSW, he brings an engineer’s rigor to large-scale consumer-facing systems and rapid-response product efforts.
