Summary
Tom Fiset is a Staff Software Engineer in New York with 11 years of experience designing and operating distributed systems across finance, retail, and consumer platforms. He brings deep backend expertise in Scala, Java, Ruby, and JavaScript, having built payment and order-processing microservices and messaging frameworks at companies like Gemini, Hudson's Bay/Gilt, and Avid. Tom pairs a strong theoretical foundation—dual BS in Mathematics and Computer Science from Northeastern—with hands-on engineering: resurrecting legacy UI libraries, shipping audio plugins in C++, and building RabbitMQ-backed collaboration tooling. He excels at bridging monolith-to-microservice transitions and pragmatic distributed design, often working on the parts of systems that keep commerce and collaboration reliably running. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic architecture and durable, well-tested code rather than flashy prototypes.
