Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKai Dalgleish is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building resilient backend systems and developer-facing tools, now working at NVIDIA. He blends production-grade engineering—React/TypeScript frontends, Python APIs, Kafka pipelines, and geocoding infrastructure—with strong incident leadership and SLO-driven reliability work honed at Mailchimp. Equally at home mentoring engineers and writing cost-optimizing tooling (e.g., AWS spot bid modules at Mapbox), Kai brings a pragmatic, full-stack mindset. Off the keyboard he runs a regenerative 9-acre art and land project, where hands-on projects and community teaching inform his collaborative leadership style. That unusual mix of scalable systems experience and land-based stewardship makes him both a dependable engineer and a practical problem solver.
