Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTyler Rhodes is a product-minded Principal Engineer with 15 years building full-stack systems from mobile real-time video apps to Class II medical device MLOps and large-scale ad rendering. He blends hands-on expertise in C/C++, Java, Python, Typescript, Dart and databases like Postgres, Spanner, and MongoDB with repeated success leading teams from inception to high-performing orgs across startups and Google/Verily. At Verily and Google he shipped regulated healthcare products and scaled engineering efforts across continents, and at First Dollar and later companies he drove core platform work spanning payments, data pipelines, and embedded investments. An active contributor to open-source multimedia projects (e.g., BeardedSpice and Clementine), he brings system-level thinking that surfaces in features like macOS media key integrations and cross-platform build modernizations. Based in Austin, he combines technical depth with hiring and org-building chops, often guiding teams through reorgs with minimal churn. Notably, he moves fluidly between low-level performance engineering (CUDA/C++) and product-driven frontend/backend work, making him effective across the full stack and lifecycle.
