Summary
Jimmy Li is a Senior Software Developer based in Toronto with 8 years building resilient, high-throughput systems and leading cross-functional migrations. He’s driven large-scale efforts such as migrating a majority of site traffic from a legacy CIAM to a vendor solution, live-migrating a GraphQL gateway handling ~100M daily requests to a Rust implementation, and architecting OAuth2/SAML auth-transfer between native apps and WebView. Comfortable across cloud-native stacks (GCP, AWS, Kubernetes) and data pipelines (Kafka, MySQL, Elasticsearch), he combines hands-on coding with coaching and hiring responsibilities. Notably, his work has repeatedly focused on zero-downtime data migrations and serverless automation that multiplied operational productivity. Outside work he’s an avid reader and musician, bringing curiosity and creative problem solving to engineering trade-offs.
