Senior🎓
Top SchoolAaron Hammer is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in AI tooling and developer productivity with a decade of experience building full-stack systems from React front ends to Golang back ends and cloud infrastructure. He’s driven measurable impact at scale—migrating tier-1 services to AWS with Terraform, cutting DB load by over 98%, and improving API latency from seconds to sub-100ms. At Square he led observability and SLO recoveries to five-nines and helped Payment Links process billions while growing 50%+ YoY; he now applies that same operational rigor to AI tooling at MongoDB. Comfortable across product, infra, and UX, he pairs hands-on coding in TypeScript, Python, and Go with AWS and HashiCorp-certified infrastructure expertise. Based in Denver, he brings a practical, end-to-end mindset that often surfaces non-obvious optimizations—like query-level index audits and cache-aside designs—that unlock outsized performance gains.
