Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAllen Dam is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Francisco with eight years of experience building scalable, production-grade infrastructure and platform services. He has a strong track record at Blend—where he cut EC2 costs by up to 45% with spot instances, sped Istio upgrades via canary workflows, and reduced on-call noise by 90% through SLO-driven monitoring—and now applies that expertise at Unity. Allen excels at pragmatic automation: from multi-threaded Vault migration tools and a Golang TLS certificate lifecycle service operated by non-engineers to accelerating Jenkins and Kubernetes provisioning. He combines hands-on systems work with measurable business impact, often turning time-prohibitive operations into routine procedures. Comfortable across cloud-native stacks, observability, and developer experience, he favors solutions that save engineering hours and reduce operational risk.
