Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Bishtawi is an Advisor Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building secure, cloud-native backend systems and data pipelines, currently leading a greenfield team at Fannie Mae. He is polyglot across Go, Rust, TypeScript, Scala, Java, Python and C#, and has productionized services on AWS using Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes and serverless patterns. Stephen combines hands-on implementation (writing microservices, Spark apps and Lambdas) with security-first practices—hardening images, tightening IAM, and reviewing code to prevent vulnerabilities. His work includes pioneering Rust feasibility for data transformations and designing dynamic dataset-merging tools that let non-developers generate reports. He holds two master’s degrees from Georgia Tech (Computer Science and Cyber Security, both 4.0 GPA) and deliberately returned to school to deepen his security expertise. Based in Oakland, he blends deep systems craftsmanship with a pragmatic focus on operational security and scalable infrastructure.
