Summary
Benjamin Woodman is a software engineer based in San Francisco with a strong foundation in cloud-native architectures, data engineering, and backend systems built during and after a Computer Science degree from UNC-Chapel Hill. He has led production-grade projects—designing a CIAM platform and orchestrating a zero-downtime migration of 100M+ user accounts, building high-throughput Spring Boot services handling 500k+ daily requests, and implementing event pipelines that process millions of frontend events per day. Comfortable across serverless, containerized, and JVM-based ecosystems, he combines hands-on coding (Java, Python) with cloud migrations and observability to reduce incidents and improve scalability. As an undergraduate TA he applied data science to analyze student engagement and automated grading for large classes, demonstrating a practical bent for turning analysis into operational tools. He publishes a developer portfolio and blog, signaling an interest in sharing craft and learning, and brings an unusually broad early-career resume that already spans BigTable/HBase migrations, CI/CD automation, and security-focused platform work.
