Ciaran McGoldrick
@ciaranmcgoldrick
Senior software engineer specializing in real-time data pipelines, APIs, and high-throughput systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior software engineer with a decade of experience building high-throughput data pipelines, Clean Architecture APIs, and real-time systems for cybersecurity and sports-betting markets. I design and implement performant back-end services and cultivate reliable deployment pipelines.
At my current role I architected .NET Core worker services that ingest real-time odds across dozens of sports and 40+ sportsbooks, achieving sub-1-second processing cycles and ~100ms bulk upserts into PostgreSQL with long-term storage in ClickHouse. I also built arbitrage detection and expected-value engines that support multi-sportsbook analysis and cross-book opportunity identification.
I lead development of RESTful APIs using Clean Architecture, MediatR/CQRS, FluentValidation, and Entity Framework, and integrate monetization and real-time features with Stripe, SignalR, and Auth0. I contribute to front-end work in Next.js/React/TypeScript, delivering live dashboards, fantasy optimizers, and parlay builders.
I automate CI/CD with Azure DevOps and container platforms, leverage generative AI (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini) in my workflow, and participate actively in agile team processes. I seek to apply my experience to systems that require low-latency processing, robust architecture, and measurable business impact.
