Profile: https://flows.cv/quinnhirsohn

I'm a Software Engineer specializing in backend development. I enjoy designing software systems and building out backend infrastructure. I have hands on experience building and maintaining APIs for large scale, highly secure applications at Apple. I also have a good deal of experience building out Machine Learning infrastructure and big data pipelines. 

I have gained expertise across many stacks, in my career including building out applications in Java and Python, building out data pipelines for analytics and Machine Learning in Python and SQL, using Spark and Dask as well as other tools. I have gained experience designing and integrating with multiple databases including Postgres, MySQL, and Cassandra. I also have some small independent experience, building out front end products, both iOS and Web. 

In my free time I like to play games and do sports as well as outdoor activities.
