Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGeorge Spalding is a senior software engineer based in Stockholm with 11+ years building scalable, secure distributed systems across finance, media, and security products. He brings deep hands-on expertise in Java/Kotlin ecosystems and microservices patterns, and routinely applies DevOps ownership—CI/CD, Kubernetes, Terraform—to take services from design to production monitoring. His background spans RDBMS and multiple NoSQL stores, high-throughput messaging (Kafka, PubSub) and resilience patterns (Hystrix, Akka), reflecting a pragmatic focus on reliability at scale. A longtime consultant turned in-house engineer at Yubico, he combines broad legacy-system experience with interest in newer reactive frameworks like Micronaut and Reactor. Not obvious from job titles: he pairs protocol-level knowledge (HTTP/2, ProtoBuf, Avro, PKI) with templating and infra automation, enabling end-to-end delivery of secure, performant services.
