Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Lyons is a software engineer with eight years of experience focused on reliability, availability, and operability as an SRE on Airbnb’s platform team. He combines production SRE practice with a strong research and prototyping background from Stanford, where he built data-driven tools, surveys that collected 129,000 datapoints, and ML classifiers for image tasks. Early internships at Jefferson Lab and NASA Langley reflect a knack for practical automation and image analysis pipelines, including Objective-C tools for superconducting cavity inspection. Based in Palo Alto, he brings a disciplined engineering approach to large-scale reliability problems while retaining hands-on experience in frontend and embedded prototypes from academic projects. Colleagues can expect an engineer who blends rigorous data-thinking with pragmatic systems engineering and a curiosity for turning research prototypes into operational solutions.
