Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJimmy Au is a senior software development engineer with 11 years of experience building reliable, high-performance systems across front-end, mobile, and backend domains. Currently at Workday after four years at AWS, he has deep expertise in React/TypeScript microfrontends, Kotlin/Java Spring Boot microservices, and Scala-based distributed systems for low-latency finance applications. He pairs hands-on implementation—revamping Android apps and transforming monoliths into event-driven microservices—with mentoring and team enablement, preferring coaching and pair programming over command-and-control management. Jimmy’s background includes significant performance wins (e.g., a 50x speedup migrating a phrase import system to Scala/Akka Streams) and leading end-to-end service ownership from design through production support. Based in Vancouver, he values collaboration and efficiency, driven by a genuine love of building things rather than just meeting requirements.
