Darcy Linde is a software engineer with seven years of experience building scalable backend systems, APIs, and data pipelines, currently working on analytics platforms in Atlanta. With a Master’s in Computer Science from Georgia Tech and a BS in Statistics from the University of Chicago, Darcy combines rigorous data thinking with practical engineering—optimizing databases (Postgres, Mongo, Athena), replacing Pandas with Polars for 10x load-time improvements, and delivering 10–100x SQL query speedups through indexing. Past roles include building Python and Go client libraries and REST APIs at Polygon.io (contributing to the official polygon-io Python client), plus Kubernetes, Prometheus/Grafana, and S3-driven production work. A former web-dev instructor and chess coach, Darcy pairs mentorship and curriculum design experience with hands-on full-stack skills in TypeScript and React, favoring thoughtful, performance-first redesigns. Outside work, Darcy is a chess enthusiast who brings strategic problem-solving and continuous learning to engineering challenges.
