Summary
Jordan Chan is a software engineer with 8 years of experience building web-scale products and startups, currently contributing to Facebook from the San Francisco Bay Area. He co-founded Sesame HQ, where he designed and implemented a standards-based assessment platform end-to-end—owning frontend React/Flux work and backend services in Python/Django and Node.js—demonstrating both product intuition and execution. His background includes senior engineering at Box and early consulting and embedded systems roles, giving him a wide technical palette from Java/SOAP integrations to hardware-facing R&D. Comfortable across the full stack and cloud ops (Postgres, AWS), he has a habit of turning teacher and user feedback into practical, shipped features. Trained as a mechatronics engineer at the University of Waterloo, he brings systems thinking and a hands-on engineering mindset that surfaces in both product design and low-level problem solving.
