I’m Kyle Barnette, a full-stack software engineer focused on backend systems, distributed/event-driven architecture, and building production-ready SaaS platforms. I enjoy designing reliable APIs and workflows, pairing strong engineering practices with automated testing and observability to keep systems stable as they grow. Most recently, I founded and launched a multi-tenant SaaS platform at ChurnLab, where I worked end-to-end across architecture, authentication/authorization, asynchronous processing, explainable ML workflows, and deployment on Linux/Docker with CI/CD and monitoring. I also build distributed services and reliability mechanisms in Go with Redis Streams and gRPC through my internship work, and I apply a careful QA/testing mindset through my contract role evaluating software and API behavior as an AI software tester.

Work Experience

Software Engineer (Backend & Distributed Systems) Intern at Deepiri
March 1, 2026 - May 1, 2026
Engineered event-driven backend services in Go using Redis Streams and gRPC, implementing service-to-service communication across distributed components. Built performance benchmarking tooling to compare Redis and HTTP/gRPC paths, measuring P50/P95/P99 latency and throughput to identify bottlenecks. Implemented reliability and failure-recovery mechanisms including write-ahead logging (WAL), dead-letter queues (DLQs), and retry workflows for distributed event processing.
AI Software Tester (Contract) at Outlier AI
December 1, 2025 - Present
Test and evaluate Python, C++, and API-based software by reproducing defects, debugging failures, and identifying edge cases across diverse programming tasks and application behaviors. Review AI-generated code for correctness, reliability, and implementation quality, validate functionality against technical requirements, and document defects and failure scenarios.
Founder & Software Engineer at ChurnLab
August 1, 2025 - Present
Founded, architected, and launched a live multi-tenant SaaS platform using FastAPI, Next.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Docker, supporting an explainable ML workflow and authenticated solve tracking for 20+ registered users. Built production REST APIs, asynchronous job processing, authentication/authorization, and relational data pipelines. Owned end-to-end operations including Linux/Docker deployment, CI/CD, HTTPS/TLS, observability, security, automated backups, recovery, and incident debugging.
