Summary
Kipling Gillespie is a software engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building cloud services, embedded firmware, and developer tooling, currently driving secure, accessible web applications at Lexmark. He combines backend expertise in Spring/Groovy and Node.js with front-end TypeScript/Angular work, and has modernized large services while improving CI/CD and vulnerability posture. His technical rotation background includes firmware C development and machine‑learning tooling (YOLO), giving him a rare cross-cutting perspective from device firmware to cloud-scale IoT simulation. Kipling also has practical experience automating QA reporting with Python and constructing high-throughput device simulators for performance testing. He emphasizes accessibility and security—implementing WCAG-compliant interfaces and CVE-tracking dashboards—while keeping an eye on measurable operational improvements. Based in Lexington, Kentucky, he blends a games-and-programming educational background with production engineering discipline and a knack for turning prototyped tools into team-adopted solutions.
