Victor Dusa — Software Engineer
I am a dynamic and results-oriented Software Engineer with a proven track record of delivering high-impact solutions at leading technology companies such as Netflix, Coinbase, PayPal, and Visa. Most recently at Coinbase, I oversaw the development of a robust Apache Kafka–based distributed system that reduced daily staking payout time for 2.5 million daily transactions from 10 hours to just 30 minutes—achieving a 95% decrease in payout duration for over $600 million in annual fund flows. Additionally, I led the design and implementation of a MiCA-compliant asset segregation solution, protecting approximately $40 million in annual revenue by ensuring Coinbase’s continued access to the expanding European staking market. Prior to Coinbase, I spent three years at PayPal spearheading large-scale data migrations and real-time replication efforts. I successfully transferred 135 million records to a newly optimized Oracle DB schema, increasing system durability and availability, and delivered a 50% reduction in database latency for over 10,000 daily transactions by enhancing a robust Java daemon service. My passion for innovation extends to my personal projects, where I've utilized Tensorflow to develop natural language processing models and engineered a high-performance Kafka-based matching engine, demonstrating my ability to handle over a million trades per second. Additionally, I've developed a GPU-capable ROUGE L metric for neural summary model reinforcement and evaluation, which underscores my expertise in leveraging advanced AI and machine learning technologies to drive efficiencies and improvements. I am not only technically proficient in programming languages such as Java, Python, and C/C++, but also in a multitude of technologies including Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, and Mesos. My proficiency extends to AI frameworks like PyTorch and Tensorflow, and I am well-versed in database management with OracleDB, SQL, and NoSQL. An enthusiastic and forward-thinking professional, I am always eager to employ my technical skills and innovative mindset to solve challenging problems and contribute to the success of my team and organization.
