Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathan Westfall is a cloud-focused engineering leader with 11 years of experience who currently leads Cloud Architecture and Operations at Tyler Technologies. He progressed through hands-on engineering and management roles at Tyler, translating low-level concurrency and reliability improvements (notably contributions to the Akavache caching library) into scalable cloud practices. Comfortable across back-end systems, operations, and team leadership, Nathan balances technical depth with operational ownership for mission-critical services. Based in New York, he pairs a BA in Computer Science studies with practical IT roots from school and small-business consulting.
