Top SchoolJorge Siri is a Senior Front End Developer with 10 years of experience, currently building commerce experiences at Shopify from Kitchener, Ontario. He combines deep front-end expertise in TypeScript, React, testing frameworks and modern build tooling with practical backend familiarity (Node, Rails, MySQL) to deliver end-to-end features. At 7shifts he led SPA migrations, drove a pricing A/B test that materially improved ARR, and acted as tech champion and temporary team lead—demonstrating both delivery and people-facing skills. His academic work blends visualization and algorithms: during his MS he built AccuSyn, a D3/React genomic visualization using simulated annealing to declutter complex graphs. Jorge mentors peers, automates developer workflows (scripts for typing and accessibility checks) and focuses on shipping maintainable, high-performance UI. He pairs research-driven problem solving with production-grade engineering to make complex interfaces intuitive and robust.
