Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Macksamie is a Staff Software Engineer in the Portland area with 12 years of experience architecting and delivering geo-spatiotemporal analytics and ISR-focused software. He leads cross-functional strategy and implementation at Black River Systems, driving Big Data back ends, microservices, CI/CD, and performance improvements that cut release time and increased test coverage. His hands-on background spans Java, Rust, C/C++, Hadoop/HBase, Vert.x, and containerized build pipelines, and he frequently presents technical and executive overviews to customers. Kevin has a track record of turning greenfield projects into production systems—shipping YARN/Oozie workflows, porting legacy C++ to Windows services, and designing sub-second HBase schemas. A former maintainer of internal GitLab CI/CD and developer productivity initiatives, he balances deep systems engineering with mentoring and business development contributions. He also has a quiet obsession for the Oxford comma, hinting at an attention to detail that carries through his code and documentation.
