Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCort Spellman is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience designing reliable, efficient systems that reduce cost and make complex workflows easier to use. He has built scalable data-processing pipelines (Spark on EMR), production REST APIs in Rust, and user-focused apps that empower nontechnical users to extend behavior without code. Cort excels at diagnosing root causes—whether eliminating duplicated Spark work to cut compute costs or instrumenting a flaky data-feed processor so orchestrators can recover—and pairs that troubleshooting with pragmatic, maintainable fixes. He has shipped products across backend, data, and front-end stacks (including low-end Android visuals and browser extensions) and mentors engineers on observability and best practices. With an M.S. in Mathematics and a background tutoring and teaching, he brings rigorous analytical thinking and a knack for making complex systems understandable.
