Summary
Paul Slusarz is a Senior Software Developer with 13+ years building large-scale, data-driven systems and migrating legacy platforms to distributed, AWS-based infrastructures. At CARFAX he applies Extreme Programming and agile practices to process datasets on the order of 100 million records per day, while also helping form and grow high-performing teams. He approaches source code as an interconnected, evolving dataset—an angle he’s presented at conferences and explored in his 10kftcode blog—to surface insights that traditional editors obscure. Paul values psychological safety, incremental delivery with continuous feedback, and deliberate reduction of unnecessary complexity, principles he candidly admits are a constant practice rather than a checklist. With a strong academic foundation in math and computer science (BS, MS) and earlier experience in semantic networks and qualitative analysis, he blends analytical rigor with pragmatic engineering and team enablement.
