Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Somdahl is a pragmatic senior full-stack engineer and back-end JVM specialist with 12+ years building reliable, enterprise-grade systems and a history of shipping production software at scale, most recently as a Senior Staff Software Engineer at Chainalysis. He blends strong engineering rigor—test-first habits, CI/CD and release automation—with hands-on experience in APIs and DevOps, having automated Debian packaging and CI integration for the go-ethereum project and maintained Python bindings for the Bittrex API. Comfortable in Agile environments yet willing to bend the rules when needed, he excels at communicating with business stakeholders and saying “no” when it protects delivery. A lifelong tinkerer who studies data science and now runs a one-person AI venture, he pairs disciplined craftsmanship with curiosity that spans blockchain, finance, and distributed systems. Outside of code he’s a judoka and motorcyclist—disciplines that reflect his calm decisiveness and appetite for challenges.
