Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIan Axelrod is a Principal Infrastructure Engineer with a decade of experience designing and operating resilient, secure systems across startups and media platforms. He specializes in migrating monolithic stacks to cloud-native, asynchronous microservice architectures—most notably leading TheMuse.com’s move to Kafka-driven services, Terraform-managed infrastructure, and custom consumer autoscaling by backpressure. Comfortable across backend services, DevOps, and data pipelines, he has rearchitected critical ingestion and authorization systems and driven platform migrations from Heroku to AWS ECS. Ian blends software engineering rigor with practical tooling work that eases developer workflows (including Docker on macOS optimizations) and keeps production systems maintainable. Based in Wylie, Texas, he pairs an MS in Computer Science with deep hands-on experience in languages and stacks ranging from Java and Python to Haskell and Ruby. He’s the kind of engineer who not only ships features but builds the infrastructure that lets teams scale safely and efficiently.
