Summary
Simon Twogood is a senior software engineer and engineering leader based in Calgary with 15 years of hands-on experience building scalable full-stack and cloud-native systems. Currently at Meta, he’s engineering high-performance GIS and GraphQL-federated solutions for global fiber infrastructure, combining large-scale spatial problems with service federation. He has repeatedly led teams through technical transformations—introducing trunk-based development and automated CI/CD to move deployments from monthly to daily, and re-architecting payment and data platforms to cut costs and accelerate settlement. As a former director and manager, he scaled teams, drove product-market fit that produced 600% subscription growth, and migrated tens of terabytes to serverless cloud platforms. Comfortable from embedded systems to enterprise data warehousing, he blends pragmatic engineering with business impact, evidenced by multi-million dollar payment volumes and substantial operational savings. Colleagues know him for turning complex integration challenges into production-grade solutions while keeping an eye for measurable ROI.
