Nicholas Denney is a Lead Member of Technical Staff with 11 years of experience building and operating backend microservices and full-stack features for large products, currently driving Tableau Private Connect at Salesforce. He blends deep Java and Python expertise with strong AWS fluency (API Gateway, Lambda, KMS, DocumentDB, DynamoDB) and hands-on experience in Kafka, Kinesis, Spring Boot, and modern CI/CD tooling. Nicholas has repeatedly led zero-downtime migrations—moving services to Kubernetes and MongoDB to DocumentDB—and optimized build and release pipelines using Bazel, CMake, TeamCity, and Python automation. His background in electrical engineering and RF/PCB work gives him a systems-level perspective that informs resilient, performance-conscious software design. Based in San Diego, he is comfortable owning both product-facing front-end work (React/TypeScript) and the backend plumbing required to secure and scale customer data.
