Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKate Anderson is a Seattle-based software engineer with four years of experience building backend Java services and full-stack applications, grounded in an academic background in mathematics (MA, UCLA; BS, UC Berkeley). She has delivered high-throughput systems and APIs—scaling e-commerce infrastructure to 1200 RPS with sub-10ms query performance—and contributed to blockchain-based game mechanics and RESTful platforms. At New Relic she progressed from Associate to Software Engineer, bringing production-grade observability and reliability practices to cloud deployments. Comfortable across the stack, she pairs rigorous algorithmic thinking with pragmatic engineering: optimizing probabilistic game algorithms, writing complex PostgreSQL queries, and tuning performance at the infrastructure level. A former instructor and TA, she combines clear technical communication with a puzzle-solving mindset that informs her debugging and design choices.
