Summary
Cole Connelly is a Senior Software Engineer based in Austin with eight years of experience delivering pragmatic, testable, and high-performance solutions across e-commerce, fintech, insurance, and consulting. He blends hands-on C#, .NET, EF Core, and cloud-native tooling (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS) with leadership as a Scrum Master and project manager, having contributed to 35+ production applications and led teams that transformed monoliths into microservices while boosting performance by over 30%.

Cole brings a teach-everything-you-know mentality, a focus on ethical, inclusive engineering rooted in his LGBTQIA+ perspective, and a knack for revitalizing legacy codebases without sacrificing delivery. Off the clock he’s an avid reader and home chef who recharges with humor, early nights, and a famously productive Stardew Valley farm.
