The company was purchased the following month by Facebook who incorporated Darnell into its team. A few months later, he left to work for startup Brizzly, a third-party interface for Twitter and Facebook that was later purchased by AOL. During his time at Brizzly, Darnell took over Tornado, an open source real-time web framework based on FriendFeed.
Darnell joined Spencer Kimball and Peter Mattis at Viewfinder in 2012. He met them in San Francisco when they showed him a sample of their work. He joined the team and worked primarily on the company's iPhone client app. Darnell joined the team at Square, Inc. after its purchase of Viewfinder in 2013.
Darnell helped launch CockroachDB in 2014 along with Kimball and Mattis. They later formed the company Cockroach Labs after launching the software as an open source project on GitHub. Darnell serves as the company's chief architect and also contributes to the source code development of CockroachDB.
