Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolShabir Samadh is a pragmatic software engineer with 11 years of experience building cloud-native and embedded systems, currently working on calibration infrastructure for ML pipelines at Meta after five years on Google Distributed Cloud running on-prem Kubernetes. He blends low-level IoT and embedded experience (WSO2 contributions adding device agents and watchdog fixes) with strong DevOps and platform skills demonstrated in contributions to GoogleCloudPlatform repositories and multi-cluster, service-mesh deployments. A McGill M.Sc. graduate and former TA for large systems courses, he communicates complex systems clearly and mentors teams from both academic and industry perspectives. Comfortable across backend, infrastructure, and edge-device code, he favors low-abstraction designs that make systems feel reliable and debuggable. Colocated in Kitchener, Ontario, he has a track record of maintaining dependency hygiene and production readiness in widely used open-source cloud samples.
