Lyndon Purcell

Senior Software Engineer · Developer Tooling & DX

I work upstream. I'd rather remove a problem than solve it, and most of my best work has been in static analysis, language tooling, and developer experience: the quiet kind that clears friction for the people around me.

Go · Python · TypeScript, all in Neovim and the terminal.

Pathify Jan 2025 – Present

Senior Software Engineer · Integrations · Remote

Built and own Pathify's developer-tooling suite for its in-house config language: Preheat (a static analyser), Splash (a language server), and Stir (a formatter), taking a tooling-less DSL to IDE-grade tooling. Adopted across the whole engineering team; teammates called it "a game changer."

Also led user provisioning, Pathify's most complex integration, and maintain the team's CI/CD pipelines and deployments.
