Hi there! I’m Olin Prescott, a Senior Java Full-Stack Engineer with 8+ years of experience designing and building distributed, cloud-native backend systems, microservices, and RESTful APIs. I love turning complex requirements into scalable, reliable platforms using Java, Spring Boot, AWS, and Kubernetes. Beyond backend, I craft frontend interfaces and data pipelines, automate CI/CD, and mentor teams in Agile environments. I’ve delivered high-performance, observable systems with real-time telemetry dashboards, and I enjoy solving tough problems with clean, maintainable code.

August 1, 2020 - November 1, 2025
Architected and led a Java-based real-time event-processing platform using Apache Flink, processing cloud telemetry at scale and reducing data latency by 35%. Designed and delivered cloud-native Java/Spring Boot microservices deployed on Kubernetes (EKS) to support infrastructure automation platforms. Established organization-wide standards for stream processing (state management, checkpointing, exactly-once semantics). Integrated Kafka-based ingestion pipelines for logs, metrics, and security events, enabling near real-time monitoring and alerting. Led migration from batch ETL to event-driven architectures, reducing insight delays from hours to seconds. Developed Python automation and operational tooling for stream-processing workflows, observability pipelines, and cloud diagnostics. Exposed telemetry REST APIs for backend services consumed by internal observability dashboards.
DevOps Engineer at Elasticsearch
September 1, 2018 - August 1, 2020
Implemented CI/CD platforms using Jenkins, Docker, and Kubernetes, reducing deployment time by 35% across distributed Java services. Automated AWS infrastructure provisioning using Terraform and Ansible, supporting large-scale Elastic search production clusters. Implemented centralized monitoring with ELK Stack, Grafana, and Prometheus, reducing mean time to resolution by 50%. Optimized containerized Java applications, lowering cloud infrastructure costs by 20%. Supported internal tooling with Angular-based interfaces for deployment visibility and cluster administration.
Java Developer at Coupa Software
