Summary
Colin Allen is a Software Engineer III based in Leinster, Ireland, with nine years of hands-on experience building cloud-native backend systems in C#, Java, Kotlin and .NET ecosystems. He has a proven track record modernizing monolithic platforms into asynchronous microservices—most recently enabling multi-upload document flows at scale for Personio and now contributing to engineering at Fanatics. Comfortable across AWS and Azure, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines, he focuses on performance, reliability and event-driven architectures for high-traffic services. Colin pairs engineering rigor with a data-analytic mindset (R, Python) and a history of shipping REST/gRPC APIs for mobile and automation products. Notably, he transitioned from PHP-based systems to Kotlin/Spring Boot microservices using AWS CDK, demonstrating pragmatic full-stack re-architecture skills.
