Summary
Robert Ottolia is a Senior Software Engineer based in Irvine, California with 11 years of experience building cloud-native, enterprise-grade systems. He has deep hands-on expertise in Java microservices, Kubernetes, AWS EKS, and performance tuning for high-volume media delivery—skills sharpened at NBCUniversal and FuboTV where he helped migrate and optimize streaming APIs and cloud pipelines. Robert has driven measurable impact through pragmatic engineering: rewriting a GraphQL backend to halve response times, implementing validation frameworks reused across services, and proposing database/indexing fixes that saved significant operational effort. He’s comfortable across the stack—from ingesting metadata with Kinesis to deploying on Pivotal Cloud Foundry—and regularly uses profiling and load testing tools (JVisualVM, DataDog, flood.io) to ensure scalability. Colleagues describe him as a practical problem-solver who pairs TDD and pair programming with a focus on observability and cost-aware design. Despite a primarily enterprise focus, he brings a developer’s curiosity and a track record of driving measurable performance and operational improvements.
