Hi, I'm Flynn.
I build the parts
you don't see.

I’m a backend engineer specializing in high-throughput, real-time backend platforms. At Starbucks, I help design and scale distributed microservices on AWS/Kubernetes—building fast APIs, Kafka-based event flows, and reliable data access with Redis and DynamoDB, all with strong testing and observability practices. I care deeply about sustainability and thoughtful engineering—solutions that are efficient, resilient, and kind to the planet. When I’m not shipping code, I’m probably on the sand playing beach volleyball or spikeball, or outside chasing California sunshine. Also.. my favorite color is green.
