Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Lee is a software engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building reliable backend systems and developer tooling while studying Software Engineering at the University of Waterloo. He has interned at Shopify and Ivo, where he shipped production-facing GraphQL APIs, created deterministic Docker build hashing to eliminate redundant CI steps, and cut image sizes by up to 83% across 50+ Kubernetes clusters. Paul has a strong operational bent—leading sysadmin roles for a competitive programming grader, running an international cybersecurity contest, and teaching security to peers—so he blends feature development with deployability and incident awareness. As a founder and organizer of uOttaHack and the lead backend developer for Project Metropolis, he’s delivered user-facing web platforms adopted by thousands of students and clubs. He looks for Winter 2027 internship opportunities and brings a track record of turning classroom projects into scalable, production-ready services. Notably, his background combines competitive programming infrastructure, cybersecurity education, and cloud-native optimization—an uncommon mix for an early-career engineer.
