Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDakota Lillie is a senior software engineer based in San Francisco with nine years of experience across platform engineering, DevOps, SRE, full‑stack web development, and cloud architecture. They have driven infrastructure and automation at scale—leading Terraform/Helm deployments with Argo Workflows at Bloomberg and building declarative tooling to configure and deploy complex notebook platforms in the public cloud. Dakota blends strong Domain‑Driven Design and SOLID practices with hands‑on work across CI/CD, observability, and inner‑source UI components, and has been a principal contributor to cloud cost and usage monitoring tooling. Practical and user-focused, they prioritize reliable, maintainable developer productivity tools and runbooks that reduce operational toil. Unusually for an engineer at this level, Dakota’s background in recorded music and live event production informs a calm, performance-first approach to high‑pressure incidents and stakeholder communication.
