Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/jakerosa

Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of experience designing and building high-scale distributed systems, real-time data pipelines, and modern web applications.

I focus on backend architecture, API performance, and system scalability in environments where reliability, throughput, and observability matter. I've scaled data pipelines to handle millions of records, led platform optimization efforts, and delivered integrations for complex systems used by large-scale users.

Technologies I work with regularly include Java, Spring Boot, .NET, Kafka, Postgres, Elasticsearch, Kubernetes, React, TypeScript, ELK, and AWS.

I enjoy solving hard technical problems, working closely with cross-functional teams, and building systems that are reliable, efficient, and built to last.
