Summary
Tobias Downer is a software developer with 14 years’ experience specializing in backend big data and high-transaction systems, currently building platform and payment integrations at Eclectic Media Network. He has deep expertise in Java-based distributed databases and storage systems, having designed and open-sourced MckoiDDB and the Mckoi SQL Database—projects that demonstrate practical implementations of versioning, ACID transactions, and a GoogleFS-like block storage model. Tobias pairs systems-level backend engineering with front-end interests in HTML5/JavaScript and interactive developer UIs, and has explored middleware APIs such as Servlets, REST and JSON. His work shows a consistent focus on transactionality and interactivity, plus an uncommon ability to convert CA-style designs to PA deployments without heavy data movement. Based in England and trained in software engineering at the University of Sheffield, he blends research-minded architecture with hands-on product delivery.
