Summary
Ian Kent is a senior software engineer with a decade of experience blending backend engineering, data science, and cloud-native development, now based in Atlanta. He has strong Python and AWS expertise and a track record of modernizing microservices—migrating Spring Boot services, moving deployments to Kubernetes, and standardizing internal libraries at scale. His background includes building ETL and analytics pipelines, developing IoT and anomaly-detection tools in manufacturing, and leading a rule-engine migration to Drools-based microservices. Ian’s PhD in chemical engineering and research in cell biophysics give him uncommon depth in statistical analysis and experimental rigor that he applies to production systems. He is happiest at the intersection of data and software, seeking roles that let him turn messy data into reliable, production-grade services.
