The current chapter
Hi, I'm Jack,
I'm a final-year Computer Science student at the University of Toronto, currently working as a Software Engineering Intern at Huawei. My focus is on distributed systems and database internals.
My work spans the entire database stack, from low-level storage engine optimizations in C++ to building robust integration layers in Java for big data processing. I’m particularly interested in the intersection of high-performance backend engineering and distributed data architecture.
What I bring to the table
Technical toolkit & focus areas;
-
Low-level C++ & Java (Storage Engines, Database Internals)
-
Multi-threaded & Concurrent Programming
-
Advanced Debugging (GDB) & Performance Profiling
-
Distributed Systems & Big Data (Spark, Spark Connectors)
-
Containerization & Cloud (Docker, Kubernetes)
-
Linux Power User, Shell Scripting & Git
-
Professional SE Workflow (Agile, Code Review)
