Summary
Tommy Barnes is a pragmatic Software Engineer III with 10 years of experience building cloud-native, distributed systems and developer tooling, currently focused on real-time services at Flock. He brings a strong systems foundation from Georgia Tech (BS Computer Engineering, MS Computer Science) and a proven track record at Microsoft working on AKS and large-scale Golang services with on-call and observability responsibilities. Comfortable across Go, TypeScript, Python, Kubernetes, and AWS, he pairs hands-on coding with CI/CD, feature-flagging, and monitoring best practices. Tommy’s background includes customer-facing consulting and developer enablement—he’s delivered workshops, reduced production wait times dramatically via automation, and built internal tooling—so he blends product empathy with operational rigor. Outside work he tinkers on personal projects and games, which fuels a continual curiosity for practical engineering improvements.
