Owen Matsuda is a software developer with seven years of hands-on experience and a dual background in Computer Science and Business from the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier. He has shipped production features at scale across fintech and e-commerce—most recently at Wealthsimple and through multiple impactful internships at Shopify where he contributed Ruby on Rails services, GraphQL APIs, and customer-facing React components. Owen pairs backend systems work (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform) with polished front-end delivery, and has built products like Plotly’s Dash Enterprise Workspaces and tooling that reduced deployment complexity dramatically. He’s comfortable leading small teams under tight deadlines, translating data from observability tools into actionable fixes, and proposing tech-debt roadmaps to drive cleaner codebases. Based in Old Toronto, he blends an inquisitive, product-minded approach with practical DevOps and security experience gained at Ericsson and Plotly. Notably, he has a track record of turning prototypes into shipped features and automating regular security and deployment workflows.
