Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrad Barrows is a Senior Software Engineer in San Diego with six years of focused full‑stack experience building scalable services and internal tooling across Typescript, Go, and Rust. He designs and implements production systems—from architecting error‑tracking services for streaming media to building queueing and order-processing infrastructure on GCP—and is comfortable operating at the intersection of application code, DevOps, and observability (AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, Datadog/Splunk). A pragmatic mentor and collaborator, he documents decisions, runs team swarms, and ensures junior engineers get hands‑on experience driving features. Outside his daily JS/Typescript work he explores low‑level systems like emulation, OS design, and language/runtime work, bringing systems thinking to high‑level web platforms.
