Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJake Besworth is a full‑stack software developer based in Toronto with 11 years of experience building and shipping checkout, payments, and POS systems. As a lead backend developer on Tulip Retail’s Checkout team, he architected and implemented features across payments, refunds, orders, discounts, taxes and integrations (including a major Purolator partnership) using PHP Symfony, Go, Node, React, Docker and GCP. He’s experienced in cloud-native operations (GKE, Kubernetes, Istio) and has shaped team practices through code review standards, technical talks, hiring and mentoring. Comfortable moving between R&D proof‑of‑concepts and production systems, he’s also produced developer tooling and automated grading systems earlier in his career—an indicator of his interest in developer experience as much as customer-facing features.
