Profile: https://flows.cv/chelseawang1

As a software engineer with a strong foundation from Carnegie Mellon and experience at high-impact fintech companies like Goldman Sachs and Lead Bank, I bring a deep passion for building scalable, efficient backend systems that solve real-world problems. Over the past 4+ years, I’ve designed and implemented high-availability APIs, microservices, and infrastructure solutions that power financial platforms used by millions.

At Lead Bank, I led initiatives that enhanced API performance by 99%, streamlined client communications through automation, and championed collaboration across teams to improve technical outcomes. At Goldman Sachs, I played a key role in the development of a multi-tenant rewards platform, built microservices across the loyalty and promotions ecosystems, and delivered architectural solutions that significantly cut costs and improved scalability.

My toolbox includes Java, Go, TypeScript, Python, AWS, Terraform, Kafka, and MongoDB—among others. But beyond the tech, I’m a strong communicator and collaborator who values mentorship, continuous learning, and building software with purpose.

I’m always open to connecting with others passionate about technology, financial inclusion, and building systems that make a measurable impact.
