Summary
Charlie Corrigan is a backend software engineer with nine years of experience building resilient, data-driven systems and payment pipelines across startups and established retailers. Based in Denver, he has delivered event-driven architectures, stream processing, and SDK tooling at companies like Nordstrom, Guild Education, and Havenly, and recently joined Stoke Space to tackle new challenges. He combines strong collaboration and on-call discipline with a knack for translating ambiguous product needs into operational runbooks and incident playbooks that reduce disruptions. Comfortable across Python, TypeScript, Java, and cloud-native tooling, Charlie often focuses on observability, data quality, and maintainability in distributed systems. Unusually for a backend specialist, his background in English literature informs clear technical documentation and cross-functional communication that helps teams move faster.
