ABOUT JUSTIN TREY VON GORTLER
I am an ardent problem solver looking to develop technologies that leave a positive impact on society. I seek out challenges, always searching for new knowledge and skills. Work stops feeling like work when I have the opportunity to build meaningful, impactful technologies to help solve some of the world’s most challenging problems, all while honing my skills as an engineer. I am open to opportunities in growing companies in all sizes that are looking for a leader that can add value.I pride myself on being customer focused. I love diving deep to fully understand the root of the customer’s problem or request so we can deliver what they actually desire. I have received accolades from my peers for my strong documentation. All of these skills allow me to efficiently find alignment on solutions to complex problems across all stakeholders and deliver results quickly and precisely. They help me produce highly maintainable features, provide quick on-boarding for new contributors, and efficient dialogues when debating strategies.At Amazon, I owned and operated complex services and machine learning systems at scale. Working closely with other domains and team scientists, I developed new features & improvements which enabled or fixed over 3 million customer interactions per week. Most recently, I re-architected our primary service to AWS, optimizing our resource constraints and breaking off sub processes into separate services to save $100k+ in annual infrastructure costs for our team. Along the way, I worked with a senior engineer to educate all teams in our organization on various AWS practices, concepts, and tools to empower other teams to develop services from a cloud-first approach. I earned a proven track record of delivering successful projects on time and within budget.
