Summary
Michael Eden is a Data & Software Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building reliable backend systems, data interfaces, and signal-processing algorithms. A Systems Design Engineering graduate from the University of Waterloo, he has shipped production services at scale—maintaining high uptime for core microservices at Hootsuite and optimizing VPN backbone performance at TunnelBear. He combines backend engineering (Scala, Go, Python) with data and embedded-sensor expertise, having developed algorithms for clock-drift detection and continuous ECG quality assessment in research settings. At HelpWear he bridges product and data needs, and has a practical track record containerizing services, implementing CI/CD, and reducing feature delivery times. Comfortable across the stack, he also prototypes web UIs and job-queueing systems, reflecting a user-centered systems approach. Colleagues would describe him as a pragmatic problem-solver who turns signal-processing research into deployable, observable software.
