Senior🎓
Top SchoolAaron Karper is a DevOps engineer and programming polyglot with 14 years of experience building developer workflow tooling, automated testing, and data-driven monitoring across large-scale systems. He spent seven years at Google leading Engineering Productivity for Search and earlier improved reliability and automation as an SRE and software engineer, including contributions to the Ganeti VM cluster manager where he strengthened back-end monitoring and configuration tooling. Now based in Olten, Switzerland and recently joining Zurich Instruments, he blends hands-on back-end engineering with technical leadership to streamline developer experience and observability. Aaron’s background in computer science (MSc) and early work in computer vision tooling and academic teaching reflect a practical curiosity—he often surfaces subtle improvements in time measurement and data processing that materially improve system reliability.
