Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDylan Barnard is a senior software engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable, fault-tolerant systems across startups and enterprise cloud platforms. Currently at Splunk, he leads design and core implementation of high-scale event-driven services using Go, Kubernetes, Apache Pulsar, and AWS, with a strong emphasis on idempotent processing and robust recovery. His background spans full-stack work in React, Rails, and Ember (including time with Ember’s core community), and he co-created Layr, an experimental decentralized cloud storage system that combines shard distribution, remote integrity auditing, and crypto payment integration. Equally comfortable in product-facing roles and low-level systems engineering, he brings product-management instincts from earlier startup and data-product roles and an unusual fluency in "weird languages" and distributed protocols. Based in Bellingham, WA, he maintains a public project portfolio that highlights both research-driven prototypes and production-grade platform work.
