Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Gulley is a Principal Software Developer with 14+ years of experience designing and delivering high-performance, scalable systems across enterprises including Cox Automotive, Manheim, IHG and Turner. He blends hands-on architecture and implementation—especially in Java, integration patterns (Camel), and NoSQL—with a track record of low post-release defects and systems that cut costs or unlocked new revenue streams. Paul has led teams through full SDLC and agile/Scrum practices, mentored junior engineers, and solved thorny cross-team problems from real-time reporting to distributed collaboration platforms. Notable projects include a Title Orchestration Engine expected to save Manheim millions and a highly available REST API serving ~1M requests/day with 99.99% uptime. He’s comfortable spanning frontend-to-backend concerns and operationalizing solutions (Chef, AWS), and quietly excels at translating complex non-functional requirements into pragmatic designs.
