Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAdam Pickering is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience designing and operating cloud-native back-end systems, currently contributing to Teleport from Edmonton. He specializes in Kubernetes, Go and Python, and has led practical migrations and rewrites—most notably converting a critical Rancher image-mirroring tool to a more reliable Go-based implementation that reduced organizational CVE exposure. Adam has deep observability and infra-as-code expertise, pairing Prometheus/Grafana monitoring with Terraform and automated GitHub Actions pipelines to free engineers for feature work. He also built cross-platform desktop integrations and packaging for Rancher Desktop, showing a knack for bridging low-level OS details with developer UX. Comfortable with front-end work in JavaScript/React, he brings strong technical writing and stakeholder alignment skills that turn complex proposals into adopted improvements. Collected from embedded systems to cloud orchestration, his background gives him an uncommon ability to debug issues from kernel-to-cloud.
