Reid Cooper

Staff Engineer specializing in platform architecture, large-scale migrations, and building the systems and culture that let engineering organizations scale. 11+ years in Ruby on Rails, 3+ years in Golang. Seeks out high-ambiguity, cross-cutting problems — vendor eliminations under hard deadlines, platform-wide decoupling initiatives spanning dozens of teams, and zero-to-one product builds. Identifies architectural leverage points, establishes patterns that enable independent execution, and builds durable technical culture through guilds, pairing, and architectural review.
