Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBruce Felt is a Staff Software Engineer based in Berlin with 11 years of experience designing and evolving distributed systems across startups and large cloud environments. He specializes in AWS-native architectures (Lambda, DynamoDB, Step Functions, S3), TypeScript/NodeJS and Ruby/Rails, and has a track record of turning multi-quarter projects into month-long deliveries by aligning security, product and engineering tradeoffs. At companies like Contentful, Taxfix and AWS he has driven platform-wide API standards, zero-trust migrations, and developer productivity initiatives while mentoring teams to adopt sustainable code and infrastructure practices. Known for pragmatic incremental change, he often rescues rearchitectures by restoring team ownership and applying reusable primitives rather than big-bang rewrites. He also brings operational empathy from early payments and support roles, helping bridge production realities with long-term design.
