Top SchoolMichael Parrott is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building scalable backend systems, currently at Stripe after roles at Instacart and PagerDuty. He specializes in streaming and machine-learning infrastructure—building Flink/Kafka pipelines, APIs for ads event syndication, and automated model-serving services—while also improving throughput and database performance in high-scale environments. Comfortable across languages and stacks from Scala and Python to service-oriented architectures, he has repeatedly re-architected core systems to make them more maintainable and scalable. Based in Old Toronto, he brings a pragmatic focus on customer experience and observability, and a track record of turning research or prototype work into production-grade services. An early-career background in realtime systems and ML tooling (including enabling Scala ML libraries in Python) gives him a knack for bridging research and production.
