Summary
Brendon Kelly is a Senior Software Engineer based in Adelaide with over 14 years of professional experience and a 20+ year history in software development, specialising recently in Java Quarkus microservices deployed on AWS. He combines backend expertise in Java, Go and Python with cloud-native tooling—EventBridge, SQS, ECS, Lambda—and automation using Docker, GitHub Actions and Terraform to deliver scalable systems. His background spans greenfield projects and large-scale legacy modernisation across industries from finance and government to IoT and telecommunications. Practical and hands-on, he has a track record of improving deployment pipelines and test automation (introducing CI and regression testing in past roles) and has also worked on mobile and mapping integrations. A continuous learner, he frequently evaluates new languages and tools to make teams more effective and is comfortable owning both architecture and implementation.
