Senior🎓
Top SchoolNaoko Nishimura is a senior backend engineer based in Vancouver with 11 years in software development and seven years focused on backend systems. She transitioned from frontend roots to specialize in authentication, ETL pipelines, and end-to-end testing infrastructure, bringing a pragmatic full-stack perspective to backend problems. Currently at Zenhub, she has progressed from intermediate to senior backend roles while previously contributing to engineering teams in Tokyo at Asurion and TableCheck. Naoko combines strong QA-minded engineering with production-grade service design, and she’s known for a developer-first approach (and a penchant for dark mode). Actively expanding her Vancouver tech network, she’s equally comfortable discussing API security, data workflows, or front-to-back developer experience improvements.
