Top SchoolConnor Mcauliffe is a Senior Software Engineer based in Chicago with seven years of experience building reliable backend systems and developer-facing tools. Currently at Toast, he has progressed from co-op to senior engineer working on payment and messaging integrations, API refactors, and system observability. He contributes to Apache Camel—improving Pulsar messaging reliability with features like negative acknowledgement support and dead-letter policies—demonstrating a focus on resilient distributed systems. A fifth-year Computer Science student at RIT with a 3.7 GPA, he combines production experience with side projects including a Spotify-integrated Android app and cross-system music library manager. Comfortable across cloud-native tooling (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes) and Java-based integration frameworks, he’s equally motivated by making developers’ lives easier as by shipping user-facing features. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic engineer who mentors newcomers and thoughtfully balances reliability with feature velocity.
