Top SchoolMichael Berkey is a software engineer based in Chicago with five years of experience building high-performance data pipelines and microservices. At Capital One he boosted throughput to process over a million daily transaction datapoints, built a multi-type processing framework, and instrumented real-time pipeline tracing with OpenTelemetry. He brings a polyglot background in Java, Python, JavaScript, and Go, and has a track record of dramatic performance wins—128% faster rendering, 30x lower latency, and 86% API improvements—across internships and full-time roles. Michael also combines systems work with practical tooling: unit-tested microservices with >90% coverage, CI/CD pipelines, and concurrent Goroutine processing for large media. A UW–Madison computer science graduate, he enjoys turning algorithmic ideas into production-ready systems that measurably improve throughput and observability.
