Senior🎓
Top SchoolStella Inwood is a systems development engineer and founder with nearly a decade of hands-on experience building full-stack web apps, game server infrastructure, and cloud-native tooling. Currently at AWS, she focuses on internal tooling and reliability while running Koding Development, which has delivered high-profile production systems from Twitch Rivals events to Kubernetes-backed Minecraft fleets. She ships across Kotlin, TypeScript, Go and Rust-adjacent front-ends, and has architected microservice and auto-scaling solutions that manage player data, dynamic world loading, and 100GB+ game asset pipelines. An active contributor to open-source UI work on projects like Spacedrive, Stella combines production-grade operations experience with a knack for pragmatic modernization of legacy PHP systems. Based in Melbourne, she pairs contractor agility with large-scale systems thinking—and often prototypes fan projects, like a Next.js-powered Marvel Rivals site, in her spare time.
