Summary
Simon Gaviria is a Solutions Engineer with a decade of experience building and hardening production software, currently based in New York. He combines full-stack engineering chops (React, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL/MongoDB) with a strong operational mindset—at Alloy he dramatically improved CI/CD performance and shrank Docker images while resolving tech debt that could have led to security issues. His background as a Developer Advocate at Google sharpens his ability to translate APIs and platform complexity into clear guidance and sample tooling for other developers. Comfortable across product, infrastructure, and client-facing roles, he has shipped mobile-grade UX at Peloton and end-to-end apps for agency clients, and he initiated org-wide Office Hours to raise engineering effectiveness. Trained in computer science and mathematics at Hunter College, he pairs analytical rigor with a habit of turning messy legacy problems into measurable developer productivity gains.
