About
I’m Liam Ashkenazi, a software engineer with 4+ years of experience building backend systems, data platforms, and cloud infrastructure. I specialize in Python, distributed systems, system design, and performance optimization, and I enjoy working on production services that must be reliable at scale.
In my recent roles, I designed and implemented data-intensive platforms such as a CDC system using MongoDB Change Streams and Kafka, along with monitoring infrastructure for large fleets of distributed agents. I also focus on modernizing legacy services, improving efficiency, and mentoring engineers—bringing structure, observability, and scalable engineering practices to teams that deliver real value to customers.
