Summary
Cliff Hill is a seasoned software engineer with nearly three decades of experience and a recent focus as a Senior Python backend specialist driving modernization efforts across government and enterprise projects. He has modernized stacks using FastAPI, SQLAlchemy and asyncio, and led API and data-store designs for clients including USGS, GSA, Fiserv and BMW manufacturing systems. Comfortable in both hands-on coding and technical leadership, he has taught Python to non-developers and managed small engineering teams while contributing core systems for call center tech, payment integration, and production-line monitoring.
