Senior🎓
Top SchoolGabriel Young is a full-stack software engineer with nine years of experience who recently graduated with honours in Computer Science from the University of Manitoba. He currently leads development at Geppetto Technologies, where he built a greenfield PWA and dashboard in Svelte/TypeScript, designed offline-first workflows that captured 100% of rural submissions, and implemented a Golang API handling up to 1,000 requests per minute with real-time WebSocket updates. His work on GPS-powered PostGIS lookups cut data retrieval time by 80%, and he combines UX design, mapping visualizations (Mapbox/OpenStreetMap), and backend performance tuning to deliver reliable field data systems used by over 10,000 volunteers. Gabriel has experience modernizing legacy scientific apps to TypeScript/Vue and automating large-scale data ingestion pipelines, reflecting both pragmatic migration skills and a focus on data integrity. Based in Calgary, he pairs startup velocity with rigorous academic performance (4.36/4.50 GPA) and an understated "Don't panic" mindset that surfaces in resilient, user-centered systems.
