Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHussien Khayoon is a Staff Software Developer with 11 years of experience building and leading full-stack engineering teams, currently driving impactful work at Shopify from Old Toronto. He is deeply proficient in JavaScript and React frontends while also bringing substantial backend expertise in Python and an active interest in Go and microservices migration. As an engineering manager and hiring lead at Notch, he combined people leadership with hands-on technical direction—refactoring frontends, designing canary deployments, custom monitoring, and orchestrating a move from a Python monolith to Go services. His background spans early-stage product builds to enterprise tooling, and he pairs rapid prototyping instincts (shipping a React MVP and sub-minute frontend deploys) with disciplined delivery for complex projects. A former part-time Combat Engineer, he brings practical problem-solving and resilience to high-pressure technical challenges.
