Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Gao is a pragmatic software engineer with 8 years of experience and 3+ years focused on full‑stack development using MERN and Vue, currently building safety‑critical and user‑facing systems at NAV CANADA in Ottawa. He has a track record of improving operational reliability—creating a Postgres failsafe for flight data and automating FAA/NOC advisories to cut user workload by 20%—while also refactoring front‑end components to accelerate delivery. Comfortable across backend (Django, Python, AWS Lambdas, DynamoDB) and frontend stacks, he has shipped UX improvements that measurably increased engagement and reduced manual test/configuration time. Colleagues describe him as a collaborative problem solver who bridges research and product teams (including a collaboration with MIT Lincoln Labs) and who treats side projects on GitHub as a proving ground for new ideas.
