Kris Rousey is a software engineer with 10 years of experience building end-user focused systems and a particular knack for designing highly parallel, redundant solutions. Based in the Greater Seattle Area and currently at Temporal Technologies, he pairs systems-level languages (Go, C/C++) with expressive tools like Erlang and Common Lisp to solve reliability and concurrency challenges. He is an active contributor to cloud-native open source—making infrastructure and deployment improvements to the Kubernetes SIGs cluster-api project, including vSphere configurations, Terraform machine deletion, and fixes for initialization race conditions and image rollouts. Comfortable across low-level systems work and functional programming, Kris blends pragmatic infrastructure engineering with a curiosity for fault-tolerant architectures and editor-level hacking.
