Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDamien Stamates is a software engineer with a decade of experience building and modernizing distributed systems, currently focused on Go microservices in the New York City area. He has led performance-driven migrations from legacy stacks to Kubernetes-based Go services at firms like TrueFort, NTT DATA, and Clear Street, and has strong hands-on experience with Kafka, NATS, Postgres/Mongo, Dgraph/GraphQL, and observability tooling. Comfortable switching between low-level languages (C/C++, Rust) and higher-level stacks (C#, Java, JavaScript, Flutter/Dart), he pairs systems-level thinking—eBPF and data masking experience—with pragmatic product delivery. Outside of enterprise work he maintains open-source utilities, builds indie games and art, and runs a freelance creative studio, reflecting a blend of engineering rigor and creative instincts that informs his approach to problem solving.
