Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAdam Mcquilkin is a distributed systems engineer and product-minded leader currently building Browserbase Functions, a lambda-style execution layer for browser automations and the distributed hosted browser infra that powers it. With six years of experience across startups and large-scale services, he co-founded and served as CTO of Actionbase (YC S24) and previously shipped high-impact work at Microsoft’s Power BI team, including a novel Copilot offering and a US patent. He combines full-stack, embedded, and infrastructure expertise—routinely shrinking load times and bundle sizes at scale—while mentoring teams and accelerating delivery through tooling and process improvements. Based in San Francisco and a Dartmouth alum with High Honors in CS+ENGS, he brings a rare blend of product-driven engineering and hands-on systems design, plus an appetite for building under-explored primitives in the browser.
