Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAmit Enand is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with four years of hands-on experience building resilient systems and production tooling across payment and platform companies. He progressed from software engineer roles at Cisco and startups to lead SRE and engineering positions at Spreedly and now Unify, blending backend development (Java, Python, Swift, JavaScript) with operational ownership. Amit has contributed to well-known open-source projects such as Active Merchant, adding gateway integrations and stored-credential handling for major payment processors. He pairs curiosity-driven engineering—illustrated by projects like an iPad game for blind children and a Magic: The Gathering price scraper—with a practical focus on shipping reliable, business-aligned software. Based in Durham, NC, he brings startup agility and enterprise discipline to infrastructure problems, and his background in product internships gives him a sharper sense for user and business needs. Quietly, he often drives projects beyond the classroom or sprint by continuing client work until earlier-than-planned launches.
