Hi, I'm Linell 👋
I'm a software engineering leader with over a decade of experience building scalable products through user-centric design and data-driven development. I am currently a software engineer at Inngest. I've previously helped scale companies like SBLive - High School on Sports Illustrated, SchoolStatus, and Tuft & Needle from early-stage startups to market leaders in their respective industries.
These days I work at the infrastructure layer -- I help build Inngest's durable-execution engine and the SDKs developers use on top of it, which means most of my time is spent in Go, TypeScript, and Python. I still have a decade of Rails and React in my back pocket, and whatever the language, the goal is the same: making genuinely hard problems, like running your code exactly once, feel boring.
