Top SchoolNolan Zhang is a software engineer specializing in backend and full-stack systems, currently an SDE II on AWS with experience on Elastic Kubernetes Service. He holds an M.Eng. in Computing and Software from McMaster and a BCS from Dalhousie with specializations in AI and communications/cybersecurity, blending research experience in computer vision and tracking from the WiSeR group with production engineering. Over more than a decade of hands-on experience, he progressed from a full-stack developer role at Guild Software to building cloud-native infrastructure at AWS, shipping scalable services in Go, Java, Python, and PHP.
