Patrick Boatner is a product-minded senior software engineer with 11 years of experience building resilient full-stack systems, currently shaping Fleetio’s Marketplace after rising to Staff Engineer at Upright Labs. He specializes in Ruby on Rails, React, Postgres, and Sidekiq, and is fluent at diagnosing thorny production issues—from query-plan tuning to background job locking—while balancing engineering excellence with pragmatic delivery. Patrick thrives in ownership-driven small-to-medium companies, guiding architecture, mentoring peers, and collaborating closely with UX, customer success, and subject-matter experts to solve real customer problems. Comfortable integrating LLMs into solutions or working without them, he also manages observability and incident work with tools like Datadog, Sentry, and Mezmo. Outside of work he recharges with mountain biking, music, hobby electronics, and a weekly Shabbat, bringing a steady, values-driven approach to both engineering and life.
