Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Dougherty is an engineering manager with 11 years of experience building large-scale platform and developer-experience systems, currently leading DevX services at Modular where he focuses on monorepo CI with Bazel, benchmarking orchestration, and remote GPU development. He previously led cloud migration and data platform work at CME Group, moving over 30 PB to GCP, creating commercial data products, and driving CI/CD to modernize 100+ applications. Hands-on early in his career, Patrick automated monorepo builds and CI agents, cut build times dramatically, and built tooling for on-demand QA and production-parallel environments. His contributions to the Glasgow Haskell Compiler show a deeper interest in compiler internals and documentation tooling, reflecting a blend of low-level systems skill and developer ergonomics. Based in Wheaton, IL, he pairs a University of Chicago BS in Mathematics and Computer Science with a pragmatic focus on performance, reliability, and developer productivity. Colleagues would describe him as a technical leader who prefers shipping measurable improvements that scale across teams and infrastructure.
