Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAltan Stalker is a Senior Software Engineer with six years of experience building distributed developer tooling at Nx, where he architects scalable systems that power CI for organizations with thousands of agents and multi-thousand-node task graphs. He led a rewrite of a DAG-based distributed scheduler to support long-lived and non-cacheable workloads, drove Nx Cloud integration and analytics exposure via Model Context Protocol for LLM-driven queries, and repeatedly delivered invisible but high-impact refactors across billing, distribution, and remote caching. Hands-on in DevOps and automation, he added Bitbucket and GitLab CI support, improved Docker detection, and helped evolve agent-based builds and Nx Cloud features in the widely used nrwl/nx monorepo. Based in Smyrna, GA and grounded in a Georgia Tech CS degree, Altan combines deep systems engineering with a knack for onboarding and mentoring engineers into high-performing contributors.
