Summary
Dwight Holman is a Principal Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building developer tooling, identity, and credentialing systems for large enterprises from San Jose. He has led technical programs at LinkedIn—shaping continuous delivery and multiproduct tooling used hundreds of thousands of times daily—and now drives interoperable verifiable credential and decentralized identifier work at Workday. Comfortable across Go, Kotlin, AWS container and serverless platforms, and occasional React frontends, he focuses on pragmatic, production-ready implementations of standards like DIF and custom OpenID/IDP extensions. Dwight has a track record of improving build and delivery velocity, introducing modern tooling and git adoption, and designing cryptographic service-to-service auth such as ephemeral root CAs. His career blends systems-level engineering with developer experience improvements, and he often surfaces statistical methods to make compatibility testing more reliable and cost-effective. He pairs deep technical breadth with a knack for shipping robust, auditable systems across the stack.
