Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJay Bassey is a Senior Software Engineer with nearly two decades of hands-on experience delivering scalable web and cloud-native solutions, currently driving authentication, real-time analytics, and performance work at Tegus. He combines deep backend skills—TypeScript, GraphQL, SQL—and GCP infrastructure-as-code with a track record of measurable impact: a 25% conversion lift from a UI redesign, 30% faster report generation, and reduced experiment setup times. Jay has led complex integrations and migrations (notably an Auth0 migration) and built search and recommendation algorithms that improved efficiency at scale. He pairs technical execution with mentorship and training experience from Andela, helping junior engineers level up while streamlining SDLC processes. Based in Kitchener, Ontario, he blends practitioner-level coding with solution architecture experience across fintech, robotics, and SaaS domains. Outside work he lightens the resume—his GitHub bio hints at creative roles (drama director, model) that underscore strong communication and leadership in cross-disciplinary teams.
