Summary
👤
SeniorCarlos Santillana is a software engineer with nine years of experience building scalable web services and consumer-facing features across entertainment and payments companies. Now at Stripe after founding and architecting core systems at Dopt, he blends hands-on C++, Java and JavaScript development with pragmatic system design—schema extensibility, API generation, and Kubernetes-deployed microservices. His UCLA MS in Computer Science emphasized machine learning and hardware acceleration, informing a data-driven approach to performance and reliability improvements like a 7x faster test suite at Patreon. He’s delivered high-impact, high-traffic systems (including Ticketmaster login services) that prioritize accessibility and observability, and he frequently bridges product requirements to developer ergonomics. Notably, he has experience automating API client generation from live REST endpoints, a sign of his focus on developer productivity as well as user-facing scale.
