Senior🎓
Top SchoolEd Giese is a versatile software engineer and pastor with 11 years of technical experience building data pipelines, web platforms, and integrations across Scala/Spark, Java, PHP, Python, and Salesforce Apex. He has shipped high-throughput systems at WP Engine (Spark-based log processing, Kafka connectors, BigQuery integrations) and led small teams and freelance ventures creating LMS, APIs, and logistics systems for government and nonprofit clients. Comfortable across LAMP/LEMP, cloud and on-prem platforms, he pairs strong backend systems and data engineering skills with a practitioner’s grounding in Agile, TDD, and CI. Locally rooted in central Texas, he prefers smaller, dynamic teams in San Antonio/Austin but is open to remote roles. Unusually for an engineer, he blends technical leadership with long-term community service and pastoral experience, bringing empathy and ethics to team and product decisions.
