Hi, I'm
JahiemSharma-ManleyAllen
I build things, solve problems, and occasionally create new ones by accident. I’m a Computer Science student at York University focused on backend and cloud, with a particular interest in turning messy problems into systems that just work.
Achievements
I'm a third-year Computer Science student in the Cloud Computing stream at York University’s Lassonde School of Engineering, graduating in April 2028. Outside of coursework in data structures, algorithm design, and software architecture, I like building things that solve real problems.
I’ve worked on backend systems ranging from containerized microservices to platforms handling tens of thousands of requests and serving thousands of users. I enjoy creating software and turning them into reliable, practical systems.

My Journey
Backend Engineer
Jan. 2026 – Apr. 2026Hatchloom
- ▸Developed containerized PHP microservices within a 20-person, five-team engineering project, applying Adapter and Strategy design patterns to maintain modular service boundaries.
- ▸Implemented a DTO-based contract layer for inter-service communication, defining data structures for integration across independently developed services.
- ▸Built a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline automating testing and container image builds, including multi-architecture images for amd64 and arm64.
- ▸Diagnosed and resolved distributed-service integration failures, troubleshooting DNS resolution, container networking, and state consistency across service boundaries.
Technical Director
Dec. 2024 – Sep. 2026Markham Student Council · Markham, ON
- ▸Led development of a Cloudflare-backed platform using Next.js and TypeScript, serving 144,000+ requests across 7,000+ visits through optimized caching and request delivery.
- ▸Reduced LCP from 5.8s to 600ms through media optimization using Cloudflare R2 and image transformations.
- ▸Coordinated technical decisions with a team of 6, managing deployments, feature rollouts, and platform updates for student-facing services.
President, Computing Students Hub Markham
Sep. 2025 – Sep. 2026York University
- ▸Led an executive team of 8+ overseeing initiatives and operations for a 100+ member community.
Engineering Peer Mentor
Aug. 2025 – PresentYork University Markham Campus
