Summary
Elina W is a backend software engineer based in Austin with eight years of industry experience and a strong focus on Java and Scala web applications. A Carnegie Mellon MS graduate, she spent five years building microservices, APIs, and configurable storefront features for Apple Online Store projects and now brings that scale experience to Goldman Sachs. She combines rigorous engineering—performance tuning, refactoring for reuse, and active participation in architectural decisions—with hands-on implementation across front-end, backend, and deployment boundaries. Her early research work applying YOLO3 to traffic data and building tooling for data curation reflects a practical blend of ML-adjacent systems and production engineering. Comfortable in Agile teams and cross-functional collaboration, she has a knack for translating product requirements into robust, reusable services that support multiple countries and platforms. Her public GitHub is minimal but signals a pragmatic, work-focused engineer who prioritizes production impact over social coding.
