Senior🎓
Top SchoolUmayr Shahid is a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building high-performance web and backend systems, now leading engineering efforts at eBay after impactful frontend and full-stack roles at DoorDash and EventMobi. He combines deep expertise in modern JavaScript (React, Hooks, Redux, functional vanilla JS) with production Golang services, Node.js backends, and relational databases like Postgres, plus container orchestration with Docker, Swarm and Kubernetes. A practitioner of SOLID principles and design patterns, he’s known for performance optimization, complex SPA architectures, and writing durable CLI and web server tooling in Go. Umayr has a track record of shipping across the stack—from DOM-level templating to DB functions and jobs—and is comfortable in both Microsoft and open-source ecosystems. Based in Toronto, he brings strong communication and team-building skills and a demonstrated ability to transition between hands-on implementation and system design. Less obvious: he blends frontend DOM mastery with backend systems thinking, enabling pragmatic solutions that bridge UX responsiveness and scalable infrastructure.
