Dalton Claybrook is a Staff Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building high-quality iOS products and developer platforms, most recently optimizing client builds and DX at Duolingo. He led iOS teams at Peloton where he helped scale an app with millions of sessions monthly and a 4.9 App Store rating, working across Swift, SwiftUI, Combine, RxSwift, Core frameworks, and gRPC/SwiftNIO. A prolific open-source contributor, Dalton has published 20+ projects and made notable contributions to realm/SwiftLint, adding new rules and improving core linting features. He balances hands-on engineering with technical leadership—having served as Head of Software and Staff Engineer at startups and large teams—and brings a curiosity for systems-level work, evidenced by recent explorations in Rust, Swift metaprogramming, and Game Boy emulation. Outside of code he’s a musician, home-brewer, gamer, and cat-owner, which speaks to a creative, hands-on approach to problem solving.
