Travis W.
Staff engineer with 12+ years building data pipelines and automation at scale. After building the same patterns over and over - sync this to that, filter these records, notify when X happens - I realized most of it could be described in a sentence. Building Flywheel to make that work.
Background: data pipelines handling 270M+ messages/month, microservices architecture, cloud infrastructure (GCP/AWS). Led engineering teams. Now channeling all of it into making automation setup stupidly simple.
Sharing the build in public.
