Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNoah Santschi-cooney is a pragmatic software engineer with 10 years’ experience building developer tooling, observability, and compiler-driven systems across Sourcegraph and Red Hat. A First Class Honours Computer Science graduate from University College Cork, he has shipped language indexers, CI analytics pipelines, and performance optimizations that cut CI time and microVM overheads substantially. He contributes to notable open-source projects (e.g., Spoon and the Kotlin language server) and led the sync/index of 100k+ Rust crates to enable compiler-accurate code navigation and supply-chain auditing. Equally comfortable in systems-level work (compilers, Nix, Postgres) and distributed DevOps (Kubernetes, CI/CD), he combines deep technical craft with measurable operational impact. An often-overlooked strength: he routinely bridges language tooling and infrastructure, turning compiler insights into practical developer-first features.
