Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNicholas Paun is a systems engineer with 12 years of hands-on experience building reliable, scalable infrastructure and runtime environments, currently focused on Cloudflare Workers. He joined Cloudflare after five years at Transit where he improved trip-planning performance, slashed memory usage by 75%, and drove a ∼100× reduction in data cardinality through smarter data structures. Nicholas brings full-stack operational experience—provisioning CI, ETL servers, API gateways, and Kubernetes services—alongside language- and tooling-focused work like Python 3 migration tooling and Clang thread-safety practices. His background combines low-level performance tuning (NodeJS/C++ integrations) with practical engineering leadership and cross-team collaboration. Based in Greater Vancouver and a McGill CS graduate, he pairs production-grade systems thinking with a penchant for thoughtful, measurable optimizations.
