Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Souza is a Senior Software Engineer based in Berkeley with nine years of experience building reliable full-stack systems for real-world operational domains. A former classical bassoonist with a physics degree, he brings a disciplined, test-focused approach to engineering and a knack for translating complex legacy business processes into modern service-oriented architectures. At Shortbar he leads development of a comprehensive hotel operations replacement using C#/.NET, RabbitMQ, gRPC, Postgres and WPF, balancing backend reliability with usable desktop and web interfaces. His background in research, data automation (VBA), and embedded-style Python services for safety systems shows a practical orientation toward systems that must run correctly under real constraints. Patrick’s combination of musical discipline, physics-driven problem solving, and hands-on systems engineering makes him especially effective at turning messy, mission-critical domains into maintainable software.
