Conlin Mcmanus is a pragmatic backend engineering manager and USMC veteran with nine years of experience designing and operating production services in Ruby on Rails and Golang. He currently leads backend engineering at Raise while co-owning a local small business, demonstrating both technical leadership and entrepreneurial initiative. Conlin has driven complex migrations (Solr to Elasticsearch), built recommendation and payments microservices, and led the backend for a consumer-facing product (Slide) that powers cash back, referrals, and payouts. He pairs hands-on development with platform-level operational experience—Kubernetes, Kafka, GRPC, and observability tooling like Jaeger and Datadog—ensuring features are scalable and observable. His military supply-chain background informs a disciplined approach to asset accountability and cross-team coordination. Pursuing an MS in Software Engineering with an AI concentration, he blends practical systems engineering with growing interests in applied AI.
