Top SchoolDenis Haskin is a Senior Software Architect with 13+ years of experience building and leading engineering teams to deliver enterprise-class and high-traffic web products, currently steering architecture at Elemental Machines while also consulting through his firm, Constant Orbit. He pairs hands-on expertise in Rails, Java, cloud platforms (EC2/S3), and search (Lucene/SQL) with a track record of taking products from whiteboard to delighted users across startups and large organizations. Denis has repeatedly moved between management and deep technical roles—founding architect and VPE for consumer-facing startups, VP engineering roles in fintech and analytics, and senior architect work in transportation systems.
