I'm Thomas Patrey, a Senior Software Engineer with 11+ years of experience architecting cloud-native platforms, building containerized workloads, and delivering high-quality, maintainable software across large-scale distributed systems. I design robust, scalable solutions using Kubernetes, Docker, and modern cloud environments, while writing clean, well-tested code across C#, Java, Go, Kotlin, Scala, and Node.js. I own end-to-end features, resolve complex defects, and drive platform stability through sound architectural patterns, strong testing, and collaborative cross-functional workflows. My experience modernizing platforms for high-availability financial and enterprise environments has sharpened my focus on automation, cloud strategy, and continuous improvement of engineering practices.
