Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWyatt Preul is a software engineering manager with 15 years of experience leading teams and shipping production-grade Node.js microservices and container-focused tooling from Kansas City. Currently at Joyent, he bridges product engineering and management while building and supporting ContainerPilot and resolving enterprise Node.js issues. He has a strong open-source pedigree—contributing test and feature work to core projects like Node.js and widely used hapi libraries (including joi and hapi route docs) and raising test coverage to 100% in places. Wyatt blends security-minded engineering (former Security Development Lead) with hands-on backend and QA skills across Go, Node.js, C#, and JavaScript. He regularly presents at conferences on containers, microservices, and Node.js, and quietly improves developer tooling and testing infrastructure behind the scenes. Wyatt’s eclectic academic background in computer science and religious studies hints at a thoughtful, systems-level approach to complex engineering problems.
