Senior🎓
Top SchoolKelvin Silva is a seasoned Software Engineer with over a decade of experience building high-availability, transaction-heavy systems and a formal background in Information Systems and Software Engineering. He specializes in Java and the Spring ecosystem, designing scalable microservices deployed with Docker and Kubernetes, and operating resilient data pipelines with Kafka, Redis, and both SQL and NoSQL stores. Currently driving a large BaaS migration that processes 500k+ transactions and 1M+ requests daily, he focuses on reliability (99.99% uptime), performance improvements, and secure cloud-native architectures on AWS. Kelvin pairs deep hands-on engineering—batch processing, REST/SOAP migrations, and container orchestration—with strong ownership and a pattern-driven approach to system design and code quality. Notably, his career path began in support and operations, which gives him a practical edge in troubleshooting and cross-team collaboration when moving complex legacy systems to modern platforms.
