Summary
Steven Gantz is a Senior Software Developer with over a decade of experience building and operating backend systems, specializing in Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Kafka, and containerized deployments on Kubernetes and AWS. He has led large migrations from monoliths to 20+ Spring microservices, designed OAuth2 token servers and Kafka topologies, and driven organization-wide containerization and notification systems.
