Senior🎓
Top SchoolPorter Westling is a pragmatic software engineer with 13 years of experience building data-intensive, cloud-native systems from startup scrappiness to production-grade products. He’s led teams and technical efforts at Datavant and LiveRamp—owning data ingestion, deidentification, HIPAA-sensitive systems, and big-data infrastructure migrations to GCP—while also founding small ventures and shipping products end-to-end. Known for reducing operational cost and cycle time through targeted optimizations, he blends algorithmic thinking with infrastructure and security expertise. Based in Seattle, Porter favors problems that demand as much design and systems thinking as coding, and is often the engineer who turns ambiguous requirements into reliable, auditable pipelines.
