Summary
Kevin Berry is a Senior Software Engineer and AI/ML-minded team lead based in California with 11 years of experience building high-throughput, production systems. At PhotoShelter he helped scale a startup into an acquisition, designing core backend features, a custom CDN/edge platform that cut costs by 80% and a websockets-based pub/sub router benchmarked at 100k events/sec/core. He focuses on performance and operational resilience—migrating event streams to Redis, enabling multicore processors for CPU-bound work, and executing zero-downtime DB migrations and language upgrades. Comfortable across systems engineering, distributed event processing, and real-time notifications, he also brings a track record of reprocessing petabytes for modern display needs and shipping global integrations. Notably, he led projects that push multiple gigabits/sec at peak and tailored caching logic for authenticated assets, reflecting both deep systems skills and product sensibility.
