Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDylan Sather is a Principal Software Engineer and founder with 15 years of experience building scalable web and data systems from the server layer to user-facing React apps. He co-founded Pipedream, helped scale it to over 1M users and 6,000 paid customers, led engineering, data, and support orgs, and open-sourced core tooling that amassed a major public GitHub repo. Comfortable managing 20+ AWS services and administering Linux/BSD, he blends deep DevOps, networking, and security ownership (SOC 2/GDPR/HIPAA) with hands-on ML and data-visualization work. Dylan prefers a user-centered approach—spending mornings talking to users and afternoons shipping code—which shaped products like Pipedream Connect that drove significant ARR. He’s also an experienced teacher and mentor who has run bootcamps and internal training, and who builds internal automation at scale (200+ tools/workflows). Based in San Francisco, he pairs entrepreneurial grit with a practical, full-stack engineering toolkit.
