Senior Software Engineer

Taylor Dugger

I'm a senior software engineer who builds infrastructure that makes products work at scale. Over 8 years, I've built marketplace matching systems, event-driven microservices, and platform APIs that multiple teams depend on. The kind of work where 'it just works' is the highest compliment.
