Summary
Aviv Elazar-mittelman is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building scalable, typed backend microservices and data pipelines for government and startup customers. He currently architects cloud-native systems and led a complete backend overhaul at Booz Allen Hamilton for the Department of Labor, cutting feature development time in half and improving query performance by 400%. Comfortable across Node.js, TypeScript/Deno, MySQL/Postgres, Redis, and Azure/AWS services, he has a track record of turning legacy untyped systems into maintainable, production-grade platforms. As a former lead backend developer at an edtech startup and a research assistant who shipped a discrete-event simulation MVP, he blends product-focused engineering with academic rigor. Known for pragmatic team practices—introducing Kanban, Slack-based traceability, and close contractor coordination—he accelerates delivery without sacrificing data integrity or security. Outside of code, he’s an avid low-light photographer and videographer, a detail-oriented hobby that informs his careful approach to engineering.
