Summary
Barnaby Parker is a Director of Software Engineering based in San Francisco with eight years of experience building cloud-native, high-throughput systems for maritime data at S&P Global. He combines a deep engineering pedigree from research in materials science with practical expertise in AWS, Kubernetes, serverless architectures, and parallel processing to deliver real-time, terabyte-scale geospatial pipelines. Barnaby has led greenfield projects and modernizations that replaced legacy stacks, authored NuGet packages and numerical methods that dramatically outpace standard geospatial tooling, and guided large-scale cloud migrations using IaC and automation. He is a hands-on leader who runs internal workshops, mentors engineers, and favors pragmatic solutions that reduce technical debt while enabling low-latency streaming at scale. An uncommon strength is his ability to translate experimental research practices into robust production engineering, pairing scientific rigor with operational delivery.
