Senior🎓
Top SchoolR. Flanagan is a Systems Development Engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable, production-grade platforms across AWS, Meta, Plaid, and startups. He specializes in end-to-end systems design—data ingestion, observability, and secure on-prem control planes—having built a telemetry pipeline at AWS that processes billions of points monthly and replaced costly VPN infrastructure to save millions annually. Comfortable leading teams of 4–8 engineers, he has repeatedly taken products from 0→1, from VR/AR consumer applications to core banking and automation platforms. He combines deep systems thinking with hands-on engineering across Go, cloud services, and distributed architectures, and brings an uncommon background in VR/AR that informs creative problem solving in constrained environments. Based in Alexandria, VA, he’s driven by continuous building and practical impact, often surfacing automation opportunities that eliminate the majority of repetitive operational work.
