Senior🎓
Top SchoolEli Bailey is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building backend systems and production infrastructure, currently focusing on production engineering and streaming at Shopify. He spent four years at an edtech startup (Blueprint Test Prep) building Lambda microservices in Go and Python, DynamoDB-backed systems, and CI/Terraform automation while shipping a Live Course Platform. Eli writes about engineering trade-offs and system correctness on his blog, and his practical posts reveal a knack for pragmatic, cost-conscious design. Comfortable across cloud-native stacks, he combines hands-on coding with infrastructure ownership and a history of shipping features end-to-end in remote agile teams. An early adopter of applied ML and conversational interfaces during internships, he brings curiosity and a coach’s mentality—evident from leading a national youth volleyball team—to technical collaboration and mentorship.
