Top SchoolMichelle Collums is a Seattle-based Senior Software Engineer with 7 years of experience building reliable backend systems, specializing in Python/Django, PostgreSQL, and cloud infrastructure. She has owned pricing, ordering, and billing domains at scale—designing APIs and migrations that supported hundreds of thousands of annual orders and generated six-figure revenue from a cross-system promo rollout. Comfortable across monolith and microservice architectures, she focuses on correctness, backward compatibility, observability, and safe rollouts using feature flags and GCP alerts. Michelle pairs hands-on implementation with product collaboration and on-call ownership, having driven a Stripe-to-Recurly migration and decomposed core eCommerce services to reduce blast radius. Outside work she’s an avid skier and gamer, bringing the same attention to detail and perseverance to both code and the slopes.
