Albert Massey

I am a Software Engineer with ~5 years of experience specializing in backend development, distributed systems, and cloud technologies. I excel in designing scalable, high-performance systems with expertise in Java, Spring Boot, Hibernate, and AWS. At Meta, I implemented benchmarks and wrote Python and Bash scripts to evaluate the performance and capabilities of generative AI models working alongside Data Engineers / Scientists to further finetune/train and enhance performance of Llama models. During my previous stint at Meta, I developed REST APIs for Facebook Blueprint team's internal tools and services. At Synchrony Financial, I spearheaded the design and development of authentication and authorization APIs, including RESTful APIs for high-impact projects such as Client Persistent Login (supporting clients like Amazon and PayPal) and Universal Login. I bring a strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented programming, with experience in Agile practices, Test-Driven Development (TDD), and CI/CD pipelines using tools like Git, Jenkins, and Maven. Passionate about building efficient, secure, and maintainable software using best practices, I constantly seek to upskill and grow using emerging technologies to solve complex engineering problems.
