Summary
Monty Charlton is an API-focused engineering leader with 15+ years delivering scalable, secure SaaS products and a decade of hands-on experience building high-throughput distributed systems. He has led teams and architected public REST APIs and serverless platforms that process thousands of transactions per second, leveraging Java microservices, AWS serverless services, and event-driven pipelines. Notable achievements include driving product revenue growth with a Java-based SaaS launch, submitting kernel patches upstream early in his career, and holding US Patent #9,235,978. Based in Utah, he combines pragmatic delivery—CI/CD, testing, compliance—with low-level systems insight, and his dry GitHub quip hints that he’s the person teammates quietly rely on to untangle the hard problems.
