Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTyler Veal is a Senior Software Engineer based in Dallas with 9+ years building and supporting required-to-fly, operation-critical airline systems that emphasize event-sourced, real-time and asynchronous processing. He blends full-stack JavaScript and cloud-native AWS expertise with a strong background in on-prem Java systems and migration patterns, shipping resilient serverless services using Lambda, Kinesis, DynamoDB and CI/CD automation. A pragmatic mentor and documenter, he routinely breaks complex designs into testable units, codifies runbooks and onboarding docs, and drives production-support best practices. Tyler has led trailblazing efforts like running GitLab runners in ECS Fargate, automating project provisioning, and designing idempotent async data flows to preserve integrity across global regions. He prefers minimizing complexity through automation and long-term tooling—writing CLI helpers, CloudFormation dependency trackers, and CI boilerplate to scale dozens of repos. Beyond engineering, he’s practiced panic-then-relax incident discipline from early on, turning high-pressure operational lessons into repeatable processes and teaching moments.
