Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeff Waller is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building resilient data-intensive systems, APIs, and SaaS applications, currently based in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. He focuses on pragmatic architecture and re-architecting legacy code to reduce complexity, improve performance, and enable high-throughput data collection and analytics. Comfortable across languages from Java and C++ to Python, Julia, and Go, he selects stacks to fit team strengths and problem domains, having used Kafka, Spark, Postgres, Elasticsearch, and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP) in production. Notably, he contributes to the Julia language build system—improving cross-platform build automation and Windows support—reflecting a knack for backend automation and tooling. Past projects include enabling reliable international transfer of very large files (up to 800GB) and building NLP pipelines, ML reporting, and authentication/documentation frameworks. He combines deep systems thinking with hands-on implementation, often turning “impossible” projects into reliable, maintainable solutions.
