Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDarren Weber is a senior software engineer with over two decades of experience designing data-intensive, production-grade systems across climate, logistics, and healthcare domains. He specializes in building reliable data platforms, ML pipelines, and backend APIs using Python, FastAPI/Django, event-driven architectures, and AWS serverless/containers to turn messy, petabyte-scale data into trustworthy, maintainable services. His background as a cognitive neuroscientist (Ph.D.) and UCSF postdoc gives him atypically strong modeling instincts, a rigorous approach to data quality, and a focus on reproducible analysis pipelines. Darren has led architectures for serverless map-reduce APIs on climate GeoTIFFs, engineered labeled-data flows for healthcare ML, and optimized logistics platforms with asynchronous event-driven workflows. He prefers mission-driven work—climate, ecology, healthcare, and research-grade systems—and combines deep technical thinking with pragmatic execution and strong test and deployment discipline. Based in Lakeport, CA, he’s open to senior/staff IC roles and selective consulting or advisory engagements.
