Summary
Megan O'Neill is a Software Architect with 12 years of experience building high-performance, scalable microservice systems from Bend, Oregon. She led a cross-functional rewrite of GitHub’s feed into a Go microservice that doubled performance and helped design Kafka-based event architectures and large-scale permission schemas. At DNSFilter she continues to drive architecture and delivery, drawing on prior work that reduced latency dramatically, migrated tens of millions of rows, and maintained 99.99% uptime for authentication services. Megan pairs hands-on performance tuning and database design with team leadership—running planning, retros, and onboarding for distributed teams—and has a track record of shipping security-focused features used by tens of thousands of repos. Outside of work she’s an avid hiker, bringing the same methodical curiosity from trail navigation to systems optimization.
