Summary
Benjamin Portis is a software developer with nine years of experience building scalable, high-performance backend systems, currently leading payment processing and integration work at Catalis using C#, .NET, and AWS. He owns full SDLC responsibilities—architecture, API design, CI/CD, deployment—and has delivered integrations between legacy and government systems as well as SMS-based client services. Previously at Intel he supported factory automation and built observability stacks (ELK/OpenSearch), reducing incident time-to-resolution in high-stakes production environments. A mentor and collaborator, he helps junior engineers through code reviews and design discussions and emphasizes SOLID, TDD, and clean architecture. He combines production-hardened cloud architecture with hands-on observability tooling, and maintains a public portfolio and GitHub showing practical engineering work rather than just theoretical projects.
