Top SchoolTrace Carrasco is a Principal Software Engineer based in the Greater Chicago Area with 10 years of experience designing and shipping reliable, serverless systems at scale. At Capital One he architects and implements Go-based REST APIs, Kafka event flows, DynamoDB-driven platforms and Lambda/Dynamo Streams integrations that support highly available, active-active workflows. He blends full-stack experience—React frontends and robust Go backends—with strong CI/CD and testing discipline (Jenkins, extensive unit/feature tests) to maintain production reliability at 99.99%. A regular mentor and technical interviewer who runs workshops and recruits talent, he also brings practical telemetry from troubleshooting downstream and AWS disruptions into resilient design choices.
