Summary
Garret Meier is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Francisco with 12 years of experience building full-stack, production-grade systems from idea through implementation. He has repeatedly scaled event-driven and real-time infrastructure—at Mixmax he grew event processing from thousands to millions per minute and led a migration from monolith to microservices while enabling tens of thousands of concurrent websocket connections. At Culture Biosciences he designed remote control systems for bioreactors and implemented system health alerting, showing a knack for applying software to hardware-adjacent domains. Currently at Pavilion, he continues to drive product and infrastructure work, mentoring engineers and improving delivery processes. Comfortable across backend, frontend, and devops (Terraform, observability, on-call), he pairs pragmatic engineering with an interest in open source and philosophy, reflecting a thoughtful, systems-oriented approach to product problems.
