Senior🎓
Top SchoolDean Schaefer is a senior software engineer with a decade of experience building real-time, event-driven distributed systems in Java, specializing in Kafka Streams and stateful, enterprise-scale workloads. At CSX he leads the company’s Kafka ecosystem and designed high-impact CEPs and probabilistic map-matching services (using HMMs and graph traversals) that turned noisy locomotive GPS into operational-grade train-location and ETA products. He combines system design, observability, and platform-as-a-service operational practices to enable ~200 microservices across multi-namespace OpenShift/Azure deployments while reducing cross-team risk. A pragmatic mentor and process builder, he scaled developer enablement through company-wide standards, courses, and repeatable support workflows. Based in Neptune Beach, FL, Dean pairs deep distributed-systems expertise with a track record of shipping resilient, maintainable solutions that directly improve safety and operations.
