I build things that make work easier.

I'm Wylan Swets, a senior software engineer based in Greer, SC. I build reliable backend systems, payment integrations, and automation pipelines. I work best on backend problems, integrations, and API work, but I'm comfortable across the stack. Outside of work I spend a lot of time going deep on how systems work at a fundamental level so I can leverage them elsewhere in life or work.
I'm currently a Senior Backend Engineer at Cloudbeds, where I've built payment infrastructure processing millions of dollars per year, integrated new payment processors, and implemented changes in our test pipelines to make them more robust. Outside of that, I explore self-hosted infrastructure, automation, and local AI. I work well on teams and communicate clearly. I've found that the best engineering happens when everyone understands the problem, not just the person who built the solution.
