@nickmitchell
Staff software engineer specializing in real-time analytics, scalable event systems.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I am a Staff Software Engineer with 13+ years building large-scale, real-time analytics and collaboration platforms. I have led architecture and execution for event ingestion pipelines, multi-tenant computation engines, and microservice re-architectures that support trillions of events and millions of concurrent users.
My work at Amplitude and Airtable focused on designing Kafka/Flink-based processing, storage optimizations with columnar formats, ML model integration, and enterprise integrations with Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift. I drive observability, security (RBAC, audit logging), domain-driven design, and performance improvements that materially reduce latency and MTTR.
I build full-stack user experiences with React and TypeScript, collaborate with design in Figma, and mentor cross-functional teams. I aim to deliver reliable, scalable systems and pixel-perfect frontends while guiding technical strategy and empowering engineering velocity.
