Summary
Joe Duran is a cross-pod tech lead and systems builder with 10 years' experience designing and shipping cloud-native workflow engines, integrations, and developer tooling from seed-stage startups to scale. At Supermove he led platform engineering efforts including a zero-downtime migration to AWS, billing engine architecture, and reusable ETL/integration pipelines powered by serverless and event-driven patterns. Comfortable across front-end and backend stacks, he has implemented CI/CD, created custom DSLs/ASTs for expression grammars, and shipped production Rust, Python, TypeScript, and React systems. He pairs hands-on implementation with team and culture building—running engineering town halls, learning sessions, and on-call/incident processes—to turn complex operational needs into auditable, maintainable systems. Based in Chicago, he brings a rare blend of composer-trained discipline (BM/MM in Jazz) and pragmatic engineering that shows up in thoughtful tooling and clean architecture.
