Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Fortney is a senior software engineer at Plaid with eight years of experience building low-latency, data-driven systems and a BS in Computer Science and Statistics from BYU. He combines strong backend skills in Go and TypeScript with operational tooling—using SQL, ELK, and Prometheus—to diagnose and reduce latency across high-throughput financial data pipelines. At Plaid he led a major rearchitecture that cut client-facing latency by 20–60% and owns large-scale data extractors handling millions of hits per hour. Earlier roles at Adobe and Pico Labs show a pattern of turning raw telemetry into actionable insights and production tooling. A former intern lead and longtime outdoor team leader, he brings both technical ownership and people-focused mentorship to engineering teams.
