California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Beitzel is a seasoned software engineer with 12 years of experience building high-traffic web and database applications and a track record of designing resilient middle-tier services at companies like Netflix and LinkedIn. He blends deep systems thinking—spanning Java, C++, PHP, Perl, and SQL—with hands-on infrastructure work, from cache architecture to web platform integrations (including contributing web platform support for Firebase/FlutterFire cloud functions). Based in California, he has moved between leadership roles (CTO/VP engineering) and focused individual contributor work, and now balances domestic infrastructure and unconventional responsibilities as "Piper in Residence." Known for tackling complex simulation and enterprise systems as a hobby, he’s as comfortable debugging a production cache as he is refining bagpiping technique, and is open to small projects or conversations rather than full-time roles.
