Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeff Caddel is a Senior Software Engineer with 16 years of experience building high-performance, cloud-native systems and end-to-end delivery pipelines for enterprise finance and automotive platforms. He has repeatedly improved throughput and reliability at scale—most recently speeding a key American Express application processing ~30M records from 20k/sec to 2M/sec—and led migration and cache/persistence innovations for General Motors’ high-volume Build Your Own APIs. Proficient across Java, Kotlin, TypeScript, Spring, React, and CI/CD tooling, he blends deep backend architecture with pragmatic front-end and ops work to ship production-grade solutions. Known for turning runtime problems into compile-time checks and automating delivery workflows, he also has a history of inventing libraries and tooling (continuous delivery, database change management, Maven/Spring integrations) that accelerated team velocity. Based in Phoenix, he cares deeply about the business impact of well-crafted software and often surfaces non-obvious system improvements that pay off in performance and maintainability.
