Senior🎓
Top SchoolTeddy Asola is a Senior Software Engineer with 7 years of experience building customer-focused web products across startups and enterprise teams, currently driving engineering at Kijiji Canada. He brings full-stack expertise—React/TypeScript frontends, Node backends, GraphQL, and both MongoDB and PostgreSQL—paired with a practical focus on architecture, code quality and measurable performance gains (e.g., cutting load times by ~25% at Acronis). Comfortable from component libraries to cloud deployments, he has repeatedly accelerated delivery by co-architecting frontends and standardizing reusable UI systems. Teddy’s background in film and 3D animation informs a strong eye for UX and beautiful interfaces, and he enjoys contributing to product direction and stakeholder collaboration. Passionate about distributed systems and data science, he blends technical rigor with a pragmatic, solution-oriented work style—and a penchant for badly constructed dad jokes.
