Thomas Edwards

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with ~10 years delivering scalable, cloud-native SaaS and web/mobile applications. I specialize in Python and FastAPI, React, TypeScript, Node.js, and C#/.NET—building modular REST/GraphQL systems, real-time experiences, and multi-tenant architectures. Across greenfield efforts and modernization work, I focus on shipping secure, testable code that holds up under real production pressure.

At Radixweb, I spearheaded a greenfield transportation management microservice platform with Python/FastAPI, driving a 3x increase in concurrent shipments within 6 months. I containerized and orchestrated services on AWS (EKS/ECS) with Docker and Kubernetes, integrated Terraform IaC, and reduced infrastructure costs by 25% while achieving 99.97% uptime. I also improved operational performance by reducing processing latency by 47% using async workers (Celery/Redis) and cut release incidents by 62% by engineering CI/CD with automated integration tests and blue/green deployments.

Before that, at Zoho and ServiceNow, I migrated monoliths into containerized microservices, improved deployment velocity and reliability, and delivered measurable product impact—like a 70% increase in deployment velocity and a 21% infrastructure cost reduction. I’m especially strong in AWS and DevOps (Terraform, CI/CD, observability with Prometheus/Grafana/ELK), plus data and performance tuning (PostgreSQL/MongoDB indexing and query optimization). I mentor engineers on FastAPI patterns, async Python, API design, and testable implementations, and I take pride in building systems with secure authentication (OAuth 2.0/JWT), RBAC, and tenant isolation.
