Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Herrmann is a Member of Technical Staff and backend specialist with 11 years of experience designing resilient, high-performance systems for finance and research organizations. He has led migrations from monolithic batch workflows to event-driven microservices, championed gRPC adoption, and built public APIs and reusable libraries that improved operational efficiency at FactSet. Comfortable across C/C++, TypeScript/Node.js, Python and Rust, Adam pairs low-level systems expertise (POSIX sockets, custom C libraries) with modern cloud-native patterns like CI/CD, containerization, Apache Pulsar, and AWS Step Functions. He has a track record of measurable improvements—e.g., cutting GraphQL memory use by ~70% and moving snapshot storage to S3—and a pragmatic focus on observability and testing. Based in Austin, he blends rigorous engineering (rooted in his C and embedded-systems work at UT Austin) with product-minded architecture and cross-team collaboration. Always curious, he frequently integrates cutting-edge tooling into legacy stacks to unlock new capabilities while minimizing disruption.
