Ali Ahmed
I am a Lead Software Engineer with extensive experience in driving strategic development efforts, particularly in Salesforce and AWS integrations. At StateFarm, I led key projects involving the migration of WAS applications, optimization of Spring Boot applications, and implementation of secure credential retrieval using HashiCorp Vault. I have also spearheaded the development of AWS applications and managed CI/CD pipelines. Previously, as a Full Stack Software Engineer at Copart, I revamped legacy applications, designed interactive UIs, and ensured high code quality. I possess strong technical skills in Java, JavaScript, Angular, Salesforce and AWS, and am committed to mentoring junior developers and promoting knowledge sharing.
