Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNelson Onyibe is a Staff Software Engineer based in New York with nine years of professional experience and a decade-plus background in large-scale web and data systems. He has progressed through multiple engineering and leadership roles at Datadog, where he now focuses on architecting resilient microservices, data pipelines, and cloud-native infrastructure. Comfortable across Java, Scala, Python, JavaScript and a wide DevOps toolchain (Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Kafka), he blends hands-on implementation with team enablement to raise software quality and delivery velocity. His early work building search APIs with Solr and responsive front-ends (Backbone/Ember) informs a pragmatic approach to full-stack design and performant data-intensive services. A Brown-educated engineer who has shipped production systems since the mid-2000s, he pairs academic depth with a self-starter’s flair for evolving platform vision. Off the clock he jokes he wants “two cubes of data in my tea,” hinting at a playful curiosity that drives continuous learning.
