Top SchoolStanley Xu is a seasoned software engineer with 10 years of experience building web and backend systems, currently a Software Developer 2 at Wealthsimple after four years at Shopify. He specializes in performance tuning, telemetry-driven decision making, and delivering merchant-facing features—having led work on search, navigation, branding APIs, and performance analyses for product launches. His background spans full-stack work across Ruby on Rails, Java, .NET, and C++, with early roles improving test reliability and analytics dashboards that accelerated team productivity.
