Taylor Meek is a Staff Software Engineer based in Portland, Oregon with 11 years of experience building resilient, developer-focused cloud platforms and production systems. He’s led teams and written production-critical software at Heroku and Salesforce—driving resilience, observability, and security programs—and now applies that mix of hands-on coding and leadership at Aptible. Comfortable moving between individual contributor work and people management, Taylor has rebuilt tooling teams, shipped standards and compliance systems in Go and Ruby, and scoped LLM/Copilot opportunities to improve developer workflows. His background spans startups and energy-control systems, giving him rare depth in real-time, secure infrastructure as well as platform-scale PaaS engineering. Colleagues describe him as someone who deliberately returned to coding leadership after running larger teams, blending mentorship with technical ownership.
