Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBryan Moffatt is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building large-scale distributed systems and developer-facing products at AWS Lambda. He’s a true polyglot—shipping production services and runtimes in Python, Java, Node.js, Go and C/C++—and drove major Lambda features like the Runtime API, Layers, and Docker image support. Bryan has deep low-level expertise in secure compute, virtualization, and worker services that power serverless execution, and he led the effort to bring Go support to Lambda while contributing official Java and Go libraries used by the broader community. Experienced in seeding and scaling remote engineering sites, he pairs hands-on engineering with hiring and mentoring across time zones. Based in Seattle, he balances system-level optimization with practical developer ergonomics to make serverless more extensible and reliable.
