Senior🎓
Top SchoolMorgan Zak is a Back End Developer with 8 years of experience building reliable, automated systems and developer tooling, currently contributing at IBM. He has a strong track record of accelerating release cycles (cutting a two-week process to two days) through Docker, CI automation, and Kubernetes/OpenShift orchestration, and has improved developer experience by enhancing VS Code extensions and language server logic. Morgan pairs backend expertise (Java, Node.js, Flask, SQL) with front-end and test-driven work in TypeScript, Next.js, and Cypress, having driven measurable product improvements like a 40% retention uplift at HomeX. A former swim and math instructor, he brings a user-focused, teachable mindset to engineering and consistently looks for practical automation opportunities—once halving a 28-hour test to 14 hours by resuming at precise machine availability. He graduated from the University of Toronto and spends spare time building side projects and rock climbing.
