About
From application code to production operations.
I’m Zee Caniago, a Staff Software & Platform Engineer based in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Zee Caniago
Life beyond the terminalI bring 15+ years of experience across software development, cloud infrastructure, and production operations. My work connects the software people use with the platforms and processes that keep it running.
At HP, I build automation for SaaS platforms: immutable Linux provisioning, centralized secrets management, deployment pipelines, and security controls. I partner with architecture, security, and delivery teams to improve reliability and make systems easier to operate.
A foundation in building and operating
Before HP, I worked at Global Relay, automating patching and provisioning for more than 150 hosts and modernizing CI/CD. At Sycle.net, I moved from building features for a global hearing-care SaaS platform to leading release engineering. Rolling deployments eliminated late-night releases and saved more than $100,000 annually.
My earlier experience includes software engineering at Cackleberries and Real Estate Channel, and co-op roles at Simon Fraser University and Shell Canada. I earned a Bachelor of Applied Science from Simon Fraser University in 2010.
How I approach the work
I combine automation with the tools, runbooks, and documentation teams need to adopt and maintain it. That includes infrastructure validation, consistent delivery patterns, and security controls supported by clear evidence.
Beyond the terminal
I write to clarify my thinking. I study AI, distributed systems, philosophy, investing, and system design. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and strength training keep me honest about patience, pressure, and incremental progress.
