Summary
👤
SeniorMajid Burney is a pragmatic technology leader with 11 years of engineering and management experience, currently serving as Director of Technology at Leafly in Portland, Oregon. He blends hands-on systems work—migrating monoliths to Kubernetes, moving datastores to PostgreSQL, and building frontends, APIs, and data warehouses—with a manager’s focus on automation and reliability. Comfortable across languages and stacks (including Node, Python, Ruby, and Go), he has driven platform migrations, SRE practices, and vendor/security negotiations that reduced operational friction. A former startup CTO and early product builder, he brings entrepreneurial grit and a taste for shipping prototypes and learning from failure. Notably, he’s deliberately worked to “automate himself out of a job,” reflecting a bias for scalable, self-healing systems over hero engineering.
