Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJames Bury is a product-minded software developer with 10 years of experience building backend systems and integrating AI/ML into production workflows. Based in Mississauga and trained at the University of Waterloo, he moves fluently between Python, Go, and cloud-native tooling to deliver reliable data pipelines, secure PKI services, and document-processing platforms. His work spans cybersecurity-focused roles—where he built enrichment and scoring pipelines for threat hunting—to data-science experiments researching streaming outlier detection on Apache Spark. At Wisedocs he led migrations to modern dependency management, added deduplication and async processing features, and at Arctic Wolf he implemented certificate lifecycle automation and observability with Prometheus/Grafana. An active open-source contributor, James improved stability and UX in the popular finviz API client by hardening request flows and refactoring news/chart retrieval. He pairs hands-on coding with product sensibility, often finding pragmatic integrations (like lightweight progress UIs and pipeline automations) that boost team productivity.
