Summary
Hugh Wu is a senior software engineer with a decade of experience building cloud-native, data-driven systems across fintech and collaboration platforms. He currently contributes to Central AI and Confluence Cloud at Atlassian, after driving backend architecture and ETL automation for business insights at American Express. Hugh is proficient in Java/Spring microservices, Kafka, containerization, and has maintained test suites with over 90% coverage while improving data freshness and deployment workflows. He’s experienced mentoring new engineers and translating complex data landscapes into automated tooling—having manually mapped 100+ database tables before automating that process. Based in New York, he blends hands-on engineering with pragmatic design for scalable systems, and still describes himself modestly as a “small time” computer engineer.
