Senior🎓
Top SchoolColin Mccarthy is a Staff Software Engineer with nine years of experience building reliable, scalable web and frontend systems across fintech, e-commerce, and nonprofit platforms. He has driven end-to-end delivery at companies like PayPal and GoFundMe, shipping TypeScript/React features, GraphQL/Node services, and robust CI/CD pipelines that raised conversion and reduced manual regression testing. Colin has a track record of architectural leadership—designing databases in Google Spanner, introducing feature flagging and A/B experimentation, and implementing Redis caching to improve performance at scale. He also co-created FlacheQL, a GraphQL caching engine focused on field- and parameter-based subset retrievals, demonstrating deep thought in client-side performance and caching algorithms. Comfortable coordinating cross-functional stakeholders, he pairs product-minded engineering with practical automation (from Chrome dev tools to GitHub Actions) to accelerate shipping. Based in the NYC area and trained in Chinese language and literature, he brings an interdisciplinary curiosity to solving technical and user-facing problems.
