Profile: https://flows.cv/evanmeagher

I'm a software engineer with expertise in the logistics, renewable energy, and utility sectors. I've led teams in bringing new software products to market, built and operated infrastructure for large companies, and advised startups on engineering strategy and hiring.

Fun fact: my last name is pronounced "mar".

## Work Experience
### Staff Software Engineer @ Samsara
Jan 2020 – Present | San Francisco, California
I work in Samsara's Routing organization, which is responsible for products that power day-to-day dispatch and route-planning operations for much of Samsara's customer base.

Prior, I worked on Samsara's Ingestion team, which builds and operates the company's sensor data ingestion and time series storage infrastructure. While on this team, I created and drop adoption of a stream processing framework tailored to our internal systems and data. The framework now powers dozens of features across Samsara's products.

In my first role at the company, I led a fullstack team within the Industrial business unit, which helped companies in water, energy, and manufacturing industries make efficient and safe use of their equipment.

I joined Twitter in 2011 at the start of the multi-year effort to migrate away from Ruby on Rails to a service-oriented architecture based on Scala. Through stints on the Core Services, Core Systems Libraries, and Traffic teams, I built and operated global-scale backend services, maintained some of the most influential open source projects in the Scala community, and supported Twitter's multi-datacenter service infrastructure with solutions for service discovery, RPC routing, and cross-DC failover.
