Summary
Karla Garcia is a Senior Software Developer based in Dublin with 11 years of experience building backend systems, cloud migrations, and data pipelines for large-scale environments. At Yahoo she led cost-optimization efforts including an Intel-to-AWS Graviton migration and re-architected big data pipelines from on-prem Oozie to MWAA/EMR using Pig and Spark. Comfortable in agile teams, she combines hands-on coding with designing CI/CD changes, multi-architecture Java compatibility, and pragmatic solutions that unblock teams. Her background spans telecom systems, VoIP and low-level C/C++ work through to modern cloud-native microservices and observability studies with Prometheus and Istio. Currently pursuing an MSc in Artificial Intelligence, she brings a rare mix of systems-level experience and data/cloud engineering that helps turn complex migrations into measurable cost and operational improvements.
