Chad Blakely

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years building high-performance full-stack solutions across fintech, CRM, and AI-driven platforms. I focus on delivering reliable, scalable systems and performant frontends that serve millions of users.

At Robinhood I architected event-driven microservices and low-latency trading systems using Go, Java, Node.js, and Kubernetes, and integrated AI/ML layers for fraud detection and identity verification. I also optimized front-end experiences with React, Next.js, and advanced rendering patterns.

Previously at HubSpot I delivered end-to-end CRM features, improved page load times by 40%, processed millions of daily events with Kafka-backed services, and built automation that increased sales productivity. I have deep experience across cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, testing, and observability.

I mentor engineers, lead cross-functional teams in Agile environments, and bring a product-oriented mindset with strong communication, ownership, and a focus on customer outcomes.
