Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolClay Graham is a seasoned principal architect and serial founder with 14+ years of experience building web-scale architectures, cloud-native platforms, and big data analytics that drive measurable business impact. He has led technical teams and roadmaps across startups and enterprises—founding multiple companies (two acquired) and architecting monetization analytics on a 700-node Cloudera cluster for Pandora. Clay blends hands-on coding (Java Spring, Django) with strategic cloud and security leadership, transforming monoliths to microservices and optimizing cost through ephemeral, serverless patterns. Recent work focuses on open data and market infrastructure for carbon finance at Centigrade and blockchain-based infrastructure at rapaygo. He uniquely combines deep enterprise integration expertise (CRM/ERP/FP&A pipelines) with product-minded engineering and a longtime interest in emergent protocols like Bitcoin Lightning and nostr. Based in Portland, he’s as comfortable designing distributed data pipelines as he is founding companies that turn technical vision into commercial outcomes.
