Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Bahnman is a Lead Engineer with 13 years of experience building adaptable, composable, and maintainable software across startups and product teams. He has scaled community-driven systems and refactored legacy stacks for higher feature velocity, notably rearchitecting a social platform to survive Reddit-driven traffic spikes and optimizing analytics pipelines at Stripe for up to 16x performance gains. As a founder and consultant he builds bleeding-edge tools—everything from WASM streaming-overlay utilities to LLM-validation workflows—and recently productionized an AI-assisted sommelier into a consumer web app. Comfortable across languages and layers (from Arc Lisp and Ruby to Go, Node, and serverless ETLs), he pairs pragmatic engineering with a curiosity for learning in every stack. Based in Vancouver, he blends hands-on delivery with infrastructure and data expertise, and often focuses on lightweight, observable systems that make model and pipeline quality measurable in production.
