Summary
Connor Davenport is a backend-focused SDE in San Francisco with 10 years of experience designing and shipping highly distributed systems for finance and enterprise clients. He has driven measurable performance gains—most notably by implementing Trino at a major financial services firm to cut critical query times by up to 90%—and has deep experience building scalable ingestion pipelines, graph databases, and monitoring/automation to reduce tech debt. Comfortable across the stack, he has led teams, rebuilt brittle legacy ingestions, and created user-facing admin tooling that reduces operational reliance on engineering. Connor holds an MS in Computer Science from Georgia Tech and dual Bachelors in Mathematics and MIS/Finance, a combination that informs his data-driven approach to system design. He brings a blend of hands-on engineering, project leadership, and an educator’s clarity from earlier tutoring and teaching roles.
