Edward Gao

I am studying Software Engineering at McMaster University

I have extensive professional experience in software development and testing. As a Full Stack Developer at Menlolab, I integrated frontend Vue components, created graph algorithms, and enabled error collection across microservices. During my time as a Junior Developer at AGF Investments, I focused on improving authentication security and form validation. Additionally, I have been actively involved in McMaster Competitive Programming, delivering lectures on algorithms and representing the university at the ICPC competition. My projects include developing a statistical analysis tool for a video game using the MERN stack and Python for machine learning. I have a strong command of programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, and C++. My experience demonstrates my proficiency in debugging, testing, collaborating with internal teams, meeting project deadlines, and conducting data processing and analysis. I have had the privilege of working with professionals from diverse backgrounds, contributing to a well-rounded professional journey.

I am currently a third-year Software Engineering student at McMaster University in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. My expected graduation date is May 2024. I have been pursuing my degree full-time since September 2019.
