Top SchoolJane Sternbach is a Senior Software Engineer based in New York with 13 years of experience specializing in backend platform engineering and modernizing legacy systems. At GitHub she has led major rewrites and migrations—reimplementing a Ruby webhook service in Go, moving from a single datacenter to multi-datacenter deployment, shifting from bare metal to Kubernetes, and consolidating disparate storage into a sharded MySQL cluster—to scale traffic 2x year-over-year and support features like Actions and Dependabot. She excels at translating operational pain points into scalable architecture and pragmatic engineering projects that reduce complexity and improve performance.
