Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCasper Thomas is a Principal Engineer and architect with eight years of focused experience building secure, scalable cloud-native systems and leading cross-functional engineering teams from Boston. He has repeatedly translated complex compliance and operational requirements into production solutions—most notably designing a global automated user-deletion compliance system implemented as 50+ Python Lambdas and Step Functions to meet GDPR needs. Comfortable across Scala, Kotlin, Python, Go, SQL and Terraform, he drives migrations, incident response, and cost-conscious infrastructure improvements on AWS while mentoring engineers through regular presentations and coding challenges. As a founder and former full-stack lead, he blends product-minded ownership with deep SRE discipline, having built serverless microservices, CI/CD pipelines, and a global redirector used at scale. Currently co-developing an internal AI chatbot for codebase-specific support, he pairs practical ML deployment experience with an eye for maintainability and low operational overhead. He’s as likely to sketch architecture diagrams as he is to dive into a PagerDuty incident, reflecting a hands-on leader who values both reliability and developer enablement.
