Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDerrick Suarez is a pragmatic software engineer with a decade of experience building cloud-native systems, currently a Software Engineer MTS at Salesforce. He specializes in Go, Ruby on Rails, Node, React and PostgreSQL, with a strong track record designing event-driven microservices, RESTful APIs, and containerized deployments on AWS. Derrick is comfortable across the stack—authoring worker pools with goroutines and channels, orchestrating NATS/Kinesis/Kafka-driven flows, and maintaining observability via DataDog—while prioritizing clean, testable, maintainable code. His background in education and languages gives him an unusual edge in mentorship, documentation, and cross-functional communication. Outside work he’s adventurous and detail-oriented—having run with the bulls in Pamplona—and brings that same curiosity to hobbies like woodworking and music.
