Summary
Benjamin Snively is a seasoned full‑stack software developer with 11 years of experience building and modernizing cloud-native systems across fintech and enterprise domains. He has led architecture and delivery efforts—rewriting monoliths into microservices on AWS and Azure, integrating payments and KYC flows, and introducing automated testing and observability to fragile codebases. Comfortable across languages and stacks (Elixir, Go, Scala, React, SQL, RabbitMQ), he combines hands‑on coding with infrastructure automation (Terraform, Packer, Fargate) to ship production-ready platforms. Notably, he has driven both client-facing feature design and low-level performance troubleshooting that uncovered hidden production issues via targeted monitoring. Based in Old Toronto, he brings a pragmatic engineering approach informed by academic roots in math and engineering and early research work in neural networks.
