Eddy Wilson is a Senior Backend Engineer with nearly a decade of experience building scalable web and microservice architectures, currently helping run features and infrastructure at Jodel, a global hyperlocal social network. He is polyglot across JavaScript/TypeScript, Go and Python, and has practical production experience with Kubernetes, Redis, Elasticsearch, MongoDB and Cassandra. Eddy has a strong full‑stack background from roles rebuilding sites with Next.js and migrating monoliths to modern stacks, and has led engineering efforts at startups and product teams. He contributes to notable open-source tooling—adding React compatibility and strict‑mode support to preact-signals and improving Babel integration in the high-performance fuse-box bundler—highlighting a knack for bridging frontend state concerns and build tooling with backend systems. Based in China, he combines engineering leadership with hands-on coding and testing discipline, often shipping improvements that ensure compatibility across versions. Collected training from Free Code Camp and studies in math and nanotechnology underpin his practical, curiosity‑driven approach to problem solving.
