Top SchoolCole MacKenzie is a Distributed Systems Engineer with 11 years of experience building backend services, data pipelines, and infrastructure that make the internet faster, safer, and more secure. Based in Seattle, he has driven production-grade distributed data tooling at Cloudflare—contributing notable enhancements to the popular Cloudflare Workers CLI (Wrangler), including OAuth-backed R2 token flows and pipeline refactors—and previously delivered ETL-free analytics pipelines at Intuit that reduced data exploration time from weeks to minutes.
