Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaryl Chymko is a Senior Software Developer with 13 years of experience building high-throughput, cost-efficient backend systems using Node.js, PHP, C#, and Rails. He has repeatedly scaled monoliths into containerized microservices on AWS (ECS/Fargate) and driven cloud optimizations that cut infrastructure spend substantially while achieving near-five‑nines reliability. His work at Automattic engineered APIs handling thousands of requests per second and transformed synchronous bottlenecks into queue-based processing for large performance gains. As a founder and consultant he built resilient, media-heavy platforms (handling multi-terabyte video workflows) and designed UX-driven admin tooling that slashed operational overhead. He mentors engineers, leads DevOps and CI/CD improvements, and contributes practical backend fixes to open-source WordPress tooling like Edit Flow. Based in British Columbia, he blends deep systems-level pragmatism with a product-minded approach to delivering dependable, maintainable services.
