Summary
Tim Martin is a full-stack software engineer with 11 years of experience, currently building systems at Stripe from his base in Cleveland. He specializes in designing maintainable, reusable code across the stack—from databases and RESTful/HATEOAS APIs to front-end CSS—and is obsessive about test coverage to prevent future firefighting. At Curology he led architecture discussions and implemented projects that cut MySQL load by over 95% and delivered $3M+ in annualized savings through order fulfillment and facility tooling. He has hands-on experience with scalable data pipelines, microservices, Kafka, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Docker, Terraform, and AWS, and has shipped high-throughput analytics systems handling thousands of events per second. An active open-source contributor, he created ripozo to simplify hypermedia/REST API development and has contributed to Flask-User and cqlengine. With dual degrees in Biomedical Engineering and Economics, he brings both technical rigor and a pragmatic, metrics-driven approach to solving product and infrastructure problems.
