Summary
Mohammed A is a Software Engineer II based in Ottawa with nine years of hands-on experience building reliable backend systems and end-to-end products that bridge hardware and software. He combines an electrical engineering background with practical machine learning and embedded systems experience, having worked on Linux-based NVRs and low-level networking as well as cloud-native services at Shopify and a stealth startup. At Shopify he led SLO and observability initiatives, reduced stale background jobs by 80%, and deployed Go microservices on Kubernetes, demonstrating a focus on operability and production reliability. Comfortable across languages and stacks—from C++ and Node.js to Ruby on Rails, Go, React/TypeScript and Flutter—he also mentors engineers and has led cross-functional teams for internationalization and rapid hack projects. Now at Warner Bros. Discovery, he continues to apply his hybrid hardware-software perspective to complex systems, bringing pragmatic problem solving and an attention to measurable reliability.
