Summary
Eric Shamay is a Software Engineering Architect with 17 years of experience building cloud-native infrastructure and backend systems, currently shaping Tableau Online’s platform and server architecture. He blends deep systems expertise—Kubernetes, Linux, Docker, AWS—with pragmatic tooling and automation (Pulumi, TeamCity, Bash, Python) to deliver reliable, scalable services. A former computational chemist with a PhD, he brings rigorous scientific modeling and C++/Python engineering experience to complex distributed problems, and he mentors and documents architectural decisions across teams. Comfortable across legacy stacks (.NET, Java, C/C++) and modern cloud platforms, he’s equally at home tuning observability (Splunk, New Relic) as designing platform APIs. Based in Seattle, he pairs research-grade attention to detail with production-focused delivery and a knack for turning scientific codebases into maintainable engineering platforms.
