Jeffrey Mclendon

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 12+ years of progressive experience designing, building, and operating distributed systems at scale. I bring deep expertise in Go and backend systems engineering, with a strong focus on system reliability, performance optimization, and pragmatic problem-solving in remote-first environments.

Most recently, at Allstacks (Remote), I architected and deployed a distributed ingestion pipeline in Go scaling to 10M+ events daily with sub-second latency, cutting data processing costs by 35%. I also led a migration from monolithic to microservices using Go and gRPC, improving deployment frequency from bi-weekly to daily releases and reducing mean time to recovery by 60%—while mentoring junior engineers and strengthening observability to reduce incident detection time from 15 minutes to under 2 minutes.

Previously at Broadridge, I built a high-throughput data processing system for 50M+ financial transactions daily using Go and message queues, achieving 99.95% uptime and reducing query latency by 45%. Earlier, at Google and Epicor, I developed distributed analytics and backend services, delivered full-stack improvements that reduced dashboard load times by 60%, and drove quality and reliability through comprehensive testing and SRE practices. I’m energized by maintainable, scalable solutions that directly impact customer outcomes and platform reliability.
