🤔Cody Poll is a Founding Engineer at Surge (YC F24). He possess expertise in databases, git, html, software engineering, oop and 11 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Cody is the kind of person who doesn't come across as having all the answers even though in reality he probably does. :-) He is exceptionally patient, supportive, and complimentary, and he's one of the best software architects I have had the opportunity to work with. He helped our team design and implement an event-driven architecture using Kafka, identifying various points of possible failure, and solutions for working through them. He provided guidance and built tools to help the backend team implement and visualize progress toward better layered and partitioned services. He led book groups and workshops on various topics like advanced Elixir and distributed systems theory. Always kind, always helpful, he motivates you to be not only a better engineer, but a better team member." and "It's rare to work with an exceptional and passionate programmer who can simplify complex technical concepts for executives, who is an influencer in the open-source community and can think through technical problems from a business perspective. I had the pleasure of directly managing Cody for his last couple of months at Nav. I was always impressed by Cody's approach in solving complex problems, in keeping a positive atmosphere in times of distress, and in leveling up all engineers around him. It was always very easy to talk about any tool and technology in detail and to strategize how we could use it at Nav. Cody would be a huge asset on any technical team."
