Top SchoolDustin Hiatt is a Distinguished Engineer with 11 years building high-performance, concurrent systems and scalable architectures at Workiva.

His background includes designing a graph-aware calculation engine and contributions to a Go data structures library used to support distributed, eventually-consistent document systems. Comfortable across Java/Spring, Go, Python, and cloud-native patterns, he has a particular interest in graph theory and numerical optimization and aspires to build a highly concurrent, available database. Based in Council Bluffs, Iowa, he pairs deep systems thinking with pragmatic product-focused integration and migration experience.
