Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrennon York is a seasoned engineering leader and founder with 13 years of experience turning messy, high-volume data into reliable, revenue-generating products and platforms. He has led enterprise data organizations to substantial cost, reliability, and velocity gains (notably at Lyft) and scaled R&D into production-grade systems that delivered hundreds of millions in impact. Now splitting time as a Director at Netflix and founder of Kindred Games, he blends distributed-systems rigor with hands-on product and hardware work—building a Rust game engine and community-focused arcade cabinets. An MS in Security Informatics and a background in fraud detection, secure systems, and academic teaching give him rare depth across security, data, and operations. Off-hours he’s an aerobatic pilot and active open-source author in Apache and Rust ecosystems, which informs a pragmatic, people-centered approach to ambiguous technical challenges.
