Senior🎓
Top SchoolOwen Derby is a Technical Lead Manager and staff engineer with 13 years of experience building backend services, infrastructure, and product-driven systems for climate-adjacent domains like the built environment, transportation planning, and managed EV charging. He combines hands-on implementation (Go, Ruby on Rails, AWS, Terraform, Airflow) with organizational leadership—establishing architecture review processes, performance benchmarking, and secure data ingestion pipelines.

Comfortable wearing multiple hats at startups scaling from zero, he prioritizes measurable impact on carbon reduction over specific tech choices.
