Top SchoolNate Willard is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable backend systems and developer-facing infrastructure in the San Francisco Bay Area. He's been a founding engineer at a startup and has driven eventing and async systems at Twitch that handle billions of events per week, as well as cost-saving multitenancy and reliability work at Blend that cut AWS spend by over $100K annually. Comfortable across the stack, he has led efforts in async workers, load and end-to-end testing, monitoring, and API design for high-throughput services. With a background in data and statistical programming from earlier work on Medicaid analysis, he brings a data-informed approach to engineering decisions. Outside of work he’s an early-morning surfer, which hints at a disciplined routine that balances focus with creativity.
