Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolConnor Smith is a program manager based in San Francisco with 11 years of experience transitioning from hands-on engineering to cross-functional technology leadership. Currently at the Center for AI Safety, he brings a track record of owning roadmaps, reporting to CEOs, and managing multidisciplinary teams—most recently at Cosmonic where he maintained CNCF wasmCloud, rewrote documentation to eliminate common questions, and shifted open-source community perception through prompt, thoughtful engagement. He’s an observability advocate who added OTEL logging and tracing to distributed runtimes and has deep operational experience from scaling production architecture and on-call ownership at Lucid. Connor pairs systems-level engineering (from SoC design at Intel to compiler research at BYU) with pragmatic team-building—he once built a Raspberry Pi Zero demo app as a surprise conference-badge project. Intensely focused on "getting stuff done," he’s now channeling that bias for action into AI safety and program delivery.
