Robin Swanson is a software engineer and third-year University of Toronto student with three years of full‑stack web development experience building responsive React/Django applications and scalable backend pipelines. He has shipped production features for student organizations and startups—designing role-based admin tools, Stripe integrations, and event-driven Kafka + Kubernetes checkout pipelines—and has hands-on experience optimizing performance for high concurrency. Recent contract roles include architecting async, multithreaded image and PDF ingestion pipelines, improving extraction latency and memory usage while enabling large-scale vector search with Qdrant and MySQL. Comfortable across frontend, backend, and deployment (AWS, Nginx/Gunicorn), he pairs strong teamwork and communication with a math-informed approach to problem solving. Ambitious to transition into full-time engineering, he brings practical experience in production rollouts and a track record of reducing latency and operational risk.
