Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolM Janzen is a systems-focused software engineer with 11 years of experience designing resilient back-end platforms, reducing technical debt, and improving developer experience across edtech, fintech, and SaaS environments. Currently a Systems Specialist at Queen's School of Computing and offering generalist software-for-hire services, they excel at rapid prototyping, migration projects, and building friction-reducing tooling that accelerates product velocity. Past roles include leading marketing integrations and event-sourcing pipelines, creating extensible validation services, and unifying disparate tech stacks at Tempo Software. An obsessive researcher who prefers predictable APIs and rich data sources, they consistently "left-shift" tooling and documentation to empower stakeholders. Not obvious from titles: they have a habit of automating repetitive tasks with CLIs and enjoy bringing order to messy legacy systems—often with a cat nearby.
