About
I’m Neil Adavan, a lead full-stack and backend software developer with 11+ years of experience building scalable services, APIs, integrations, and database systems. I’ve led teams, owned architecture and infrastructure decisions, and focused on reliability, maintainability, and performance across Linux/Debian environments and LAMP-style stacks.
In my recent roles at Firefly Solar and earlier at Accenture and Eau Claire Partners, I’ve implemented system integrations (including CRM, marketing, and permitting workflows), optimized PostgreSQL/MySQL schemas, improved response times and stability, and strengthened engineering practices like code reviews, testing, CI/CD, and deployment automation. I enjoy collaborating with product stakeholders to turn roadmap priorities into solid technical solutions.
