Sasha Solomon

Software Engineer

I'm a Staff Software Engineer and an industry expert in GraphQL with a focus on data and schema modeling.

I have experience as a Tech Lead designing, and scaling systems, building robust and usable APIs, and operating those systems and APIs at scale.

I was previously a Staff Software engineer and co-Tech Lead of the Core API Platform Team at Twitter helping build the next generation API with GraphQL and Scala.

I served on the GraphQL Governing Board as a representative of Twitter, as well as on the Technical Steering Committee for GraphQL.

I also worked at Medium as the Tech Lead of the Platform Team, jumpstarting Medium's move to GraphQL.
