Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMichael Demarco is a software engineer based in San Francisco with eight years of experience building high-performance product infrastructure and consumer-facing systems. A UBC honours CS graduate and former UBC teaching assistant who taught across nine courses, he moved from research and internships at institutions like the Canadian Space Agency, Tesla, Amazon, and Samsung into product roles at Notion focused on collections, web infrastructure, and performance. He blends systems-level thinking (performance, databases, parallel computation) with practical product delivery, having shipped features at scale and contributed to tooling that improves developer and user experience. Notably, he has experience synthesizing algorithms in academic research and worked on rover-related projects at the CSA, a detail that reflects both rigorous problem-solving and hardware-adjacent systems work. Now at Notion in product infrastructure and concurrently a fellow at Interact, he pairs a research-minded curiosity with strong hands-on engineering across backend, distributed systems, and developer tooling.
