Hi, I'm Dylan Martin.
Welcome to my website.

I'm a software engineer, writer, polyglot programmer, career mentor, math enthusiast, ski bum, rock climber, amateur powerlifter, plant dad, jazz pianist, language nerd, and data science dilettante.

• writing open source software and blogging about what I'm building :)
• playing lots of chess
• trying to join the 1000 club

• was the founding cloud software engineer @ BRINC, where I built the initial version of the web app and data platform and worked with an incredible team to help first responders save lives. Check out what my team and I built.
• served as a corporate board member @ The Lundquist Institute, where I focused on education, marketing, and outreach

• was an early hire @ Mercury, where I worked on all the things that come with working at an early-stage startup, but I mostly owned international payments
• worked on OSS libraries for functional Scala and did several software consulting gigs (largely focused on data pipelines and distributed systems) @ 47 Degrees
• spent 5 years @ Qualtrics, where I led a team that worked on test tooling & infrastructure, and I was a senior IC on a team that did web-scale distributed systems
• studied physics, computer science, mathematics, film, and music at Whitman College, where I also played in the jazz band, sang in an a capella group, and was on the tennis and ultimate frisbee teams
• accidentally won a fashion contest in Dublin
• skied on 4 different continents (my goal is to ski on all 7!)

• running, biking, and recreational sports
• powerlifting
• skiing, rock climbing, and hiking
• playing, writing, and producing music

• Feel free to email me about whatever, whenever. I have an open inbox policy, so I'll do my best to get back to cold emails within a week. Unfortunately, I can't always respond to every email, but I do read them all.
• Also, if you want updates about new blog posts, feel free to subscribe to the Atom feed using your favorite RSS reader.
• Finally, I currently don't have bandwidth to take on any additional mentees, sorry in advance to folks who I haven't been able to respond to.
