Senior Full-Stack Engineer · New York · Open to new roles

I build software for customers who expect excellence.

Full-stack engineer and founder. I've built private estate software and systems for ultra-high-net-worth families, and shipped AI products from first commit to production. I've worked side by side with customers, from Esri's enterprise accounts to private households, and turned what I heard into software they rely on.

About

Dylan McLane on a SoHo street in New York, holding a coffee

I started in geology, which taught me to look past the surface to the structure underneath. I approach software the same way today.

My undergraduate research took me through the whole process: collecting rock samples in the field, analyzing data using Python, and presenting the findings at the American Geophysical Union's annual meeting. I've been hooked on process design and systems thinking ever since.

From there I spent three and a half years at Esri, working directly with state government and enterprise customers on their hardest technical problems: tracing network traffic to find root causes, and helping them write and fix Python and JavaScript built on the ArcGIS APIs.

Next, I led full-stack development at an AI chatbot startup, taking the product from first commit to pilot customers. I designed its serverless RAG architecture on AWS, added guardrails to keep answers reliable, and defined the entire stack as code in Terraform.

Today I run intuitivEarth, where I turn complicated operations into simple, reliable software, both in my own products and for startups that need systems that are simpler to run and built to scale.

Selected work

Gilded Grove · Founder & Engineer

Estate operations software for ultra-high-net-worth families.

Families with multiple homes, art, collections, and cars usually track it all across spreadsheets, inboxes, and a rotating cast of advisors. Gilded Grove puts it in one private place: assets, documents, appraisals, and service schedules, with family, staff, and advisors each seeing only what they should.

I built it from what I saw firsthand working inside a UHNW household, so privacy drove almost every design decision. It's in invitation-only private beta.

DiagnoseURL · Creator

A pay-per-call API built for AI agents.

AI agents are starting to pick and pay for their own tools, and signup forms and API keys get in the way. DiagnoseURL skips both. An agent asks for a site check, pays two cents in USDC over x402, and gets back redirects, DNS, TLS, headers, and security posture in one response.

It's built for x402 payments in USDC on Base, with OpenAPI, llms.txt, and agent.json so agents can read and use it without human setup.
