Top SchoolNeil Sharpe is a Senior Backend Engineer with 11+ years of Java-focused experience building and stabilizing high-throughput systems as customer bases scale. He drove architectural changes that enabled SimpleMobile to grow from hundreds of thousands to over a million monthly subscribers and cut Ticketmaster on-sale times from days to under an hour for high-demand events. Skilled at translating technical trade-offs to both engineering and non-technical stakeholders, he emphasizes metrics-driven prioritization, accurate estimation, and pragmatic mitigation over chasing perfect solutions. He has deep experience in performance tuning, replaying customer behavior to reproduce issues, and reducing systemic complexity across payment, sales, and seat-management platforms. Based in Los Angeles, he blends lessons from other industries—restaurants, TV programming, and art—into practical approaches for software efficiency and ROI. Currently exploring neural network projects, he pairs strong legacy-system instincts with curiosity about modern ML techniques.
