Top SchoolAdam Pointer is a senior software engineer and platform-focused architect with 13+ years building resilient, cloud-native systems across fintech and crypto domains. He has repeatedly designed event-sourced, highly available Go microservices on Kubernetes (GKE/EKS) using CQRS, GRPC and NATS JetStream to process large volumes for companies like FORM3, Banked, Zero Hash and Amberdata. A pragmatic engineering leader and mentor, he blends hands-on coding with platform strategy—advocating DevOps, inner-source and SDLC improvements while supporting high-profile clients and production operations.
