Top SchoolBrock Haywood is a Staff Software Engineer and technology leader with 12+ years of experience building and scaling cloud-native systems, most recently contributing to service migrations and API scalability at Autodesk and Twilio. He combines hands-on engineering—from C++ embedded systems and real-time DVRs to Python/Django and Kubernetes-based microservices—with executive experience as CTO and Director of Platform at startups that scaled to acquisition and high concurrency. Brock has repeatedly driven migrations away from monoliths, designed resilient inventory and telecom backends, and led teams to deliver five-nines availability and multi-region deployments. Based in Kamloops, BC, he blends pragmatic architecture with strong people skills, favoring solutions that balance operational reliability and developer velocity. An under-the-radar strength is his track record in gambling and fantasy-sports platforms where he designed domain-specific languages and scaled systems for thousands of concurrent users.
