Summary
Amanda Kielley is a Senior Software Engineer with eight years of experience building resilient full-stack and data systems at Oracle, known for joining unfamiliar stacks and delivering under "sink-or-swim" conditions. She has led cross-team initiatives from a metrics-focused backend rewrite and PySpark/DataFlow pipelines to client-side JavaScript security libraries, often taking independent technical ownership from day one. Notable wins include saving a $9M health-data contract through a compliant NHS Re-ID integration and driving an accessibility overhaul across distributed teams. Amanda’s unconventional, self-directed education—she largely skipped high school and taught herself as a teen—fuels a strong aptitude for self-motivated problem solving and rapid learning. Comfortable across Python, Docker/Kubernetes, CI/CD automation, and frontend engineering, she blends systems design with hands-on implementation. Based in Philadelphia, she thrives on intellectually challenging projects where autonomy and cross-functional communication matter.
