Summary
Levi Lu is a backend software engineer with 11 years of experience, currently building scalable systems at Amazon from his base in Seattle. He brings strong computer science fundamentals—algorithms, data structures, OOP, system design—and deep hands-on expertise in Java, Spring Boot, distributed systems, and messaging/datastore technologies like Kafka, RabbitMQ, Cassandra, Redis and MongoDB. Comfortable in CI/CD and Agile environments, Levi has practical know-how in containerization (Docker), sharding/replication strategies, and concurrent/multithreaded architectures for high-throughput services. His MS in Engineering Science from UC San Diego underpins a methodical approach to design trade-offs and performance tuning. Notably, his toolset spans both developer ergonomics (IntelliJ, Maven) and production observability/operations, enabling him to bridge feature delivery and robust system reliability.
