Navjot Panesar is a Founding Engineer with 11 years of experience building mobile, game, and backend systems across startups and studios, currently based in Old Toronto. He combines hands-on Android/iOS and Unity development with backend ownership—designing .NET, PHP, and Python services, optimizing databases, and managing LiveOps for live game titles. Navjot has led small teams through complex migrations (microservices to modular monolith), cut critical auth latency by an order of magnitude, and improved developer productivity via local tooling and Docker workflows. His background spans high-scale consumer apps at Zynga and Yelp to shipping remasters and live services at Monumental, reflecting a knack for both legacy modernization and greenfield architecture. Collected from a Waterloo engineering education and diverse co-op experiences, he brings pragmatic technical leadership and a tolerance for firefighting in production.
