Senior🎓
Top SchoolJustin Fortin is a Senior Software Engineer and team lead based in Atlanta with 12 years of industry experience and a nine-year track record of designing and shipping scalable backend systems. At NCR Voyix he led a six-engineer team to refactor core provisioning and security services to remove scaling limits and replaced a bottlenecked cache, enabling billions of monthly API requests, and built a WebSocket-based notifications system handling 1,000+ events/sec with tens of thousands of persistent connections. He combines hands-on systems design with operational sensibility, focusing on performance, reliability, and security across distributed services. Now at Zinnia, he continues to drive platform-level engineering while mentoring teams and turning complex integration challenges into production-ready solutions. An unexpected thread through his career is a practical emphasis on real-time event delivery at retail scale, blending cloud and in-store systems expertise.
