Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCarl Sverre is a seasoned software engineer and founder with 17 years building scalable systems, currently focused on automated testing at scale as a "Bug Catcher" at Antithesis and running orbitinghail where he’s developing SQLSync (offline-first multiplayer SQLite) and Graft (transactional storage for lazy partial replication). He combines hands-on systems and backend expertise—evident from contributions to mixpanel-node and a long track record at MemSQL/SingleStore where he led managed service and stealth initiatives—to solve hard infrastructure and data problems. Fiercely curious and high-energy, he prefers designing from first principles and has a knack for shipping clean, pragmatic code that surfaces complex invariants. An entrepreneur-in-residence turned founder, he bridges product, ops, and core engineering while iterating quickly on new storage and sync primitives. Based in Vancouver, he brings deep practical experience in databases, distributed systems, and developer tooling, plus an unusual focus on offline-first multiplayer data synchronization.
