Logan is a staff developer at Shopify, where he works on scaling Checkout performance to host some of the world's largest Flash-sale thundering herds. Growing up in a cold remote-town in "true northwest" British Columbia (Kitimat), Logan decided he couldn't get enough of the cold when he moved to Montreal to earn a BSc. (Hons) Software Engineering at McGill University in Montréal, QC (and later, remotely study his M.S. CS from Georgia Tech) where he remains as of today. When he's not chasing down cache stampede and stray N+1 SQL calls (or context-switching to Data Science), Logan enjoys frigidly reading non-fiction at coffee shops and being "pretty good" (but not as good as his girlfriend) at Beat Saber.
