Senior🎓
Top SchoolNika Keller is a founding software engineer and seasoned backend architect with nine years of experience building low-latency, cloud-native distributed systems for both startups and enterprise clients. Skilled in Python, Kotlin, Java, Ruby on Rails and infrastructure tooling across GCP and AWS, she has designed systems that process millions of GPS events and sync data across dozens of databases with sub-second and sub-five-second SLAs. At Accenture and Zonar she led migrations between cloud providers and mentored teams on scalable design, IaC, and code quality, while at the Allen Institute she moved large scientific datasets to the cloud and enabled reproducible research workflows. Now founding product work in stealth, she blends hands-on implementation (Cloud Run, Kubernetes, Terraform) with a track record of shipping robust telemetry and provisioning systems. Notably, her engineering focus balances real-time performance tuning with practical operational automation—often delivering P99 guarantees in production. Based in Bellevue, WA, she brings both deep technical breadth and a proven ability to translate complex domain needs into reliable, maintainable services.
