Summary
Seonah Hwang is a backend software engineer with eight years of experience building resilient, production-ready systems that scale, currently working at Western Governors University. She specializes in Java and Spring Boot microservices, Kafka-driven streaming, and CI/CD automation, and has a track record of cutting batch times by 70% and improving payment success rates through robust retry and async designs. Comfortable across languages (Python, Go, Ruby) and cloud/container platforms, she pairs deep performance tuning (SQL, multithreading) with pragmatic architecture choices. Seonah has led cross-team initiatives—introducing Spring Batch partitioning and CI/CD pipelines—that measurably reduced latency and deployment risk, and she mentors junior engineers in OOP and API design. Based in Salt Lake City, she balances fintech-grade reliability with an appetite for real-world problem solving, including building data pipelines and scraping tools for Korean platforms.
