Welcome!

Hi, I'm Simon Chase. I go to Waterloo for CS, which is actually pretty fun contrary to popular opinion. Before Waterloo I had a very brief career acting in toy commercials, ran a successful Warheads business in middle school (candies, not weapons), and was kinda famous on Khan Academy for a while.

In terms of work, I'm currently at Shopify helping to replicate our storefront databases across the world in under a second. I've also done infra/developer productivity at Patreon, payment features for Super.com, and other less interesting stuff at SS&C Technologies and Veriday. I've previously interviewed with YC as a co-founder and worked for years at a climbing gym.

I like to work on projects that take my interest when I have time. These have included turning around my school's climbing club, building a bot to get students into full courses, and reverse-engineering the Moonboard to figure out which climbs are easiest.

Feel free to hit me up at [email protected]!
