Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAdrian Zankich is a Senior Software Engineer with 14 years of experience building cloud-native and embedded systems, currently contributing at Netflix from his California base. He blends deep DevOps and backend expertise—evident from work on core Cloud Foundry projects and bosh-bootloader—with hands-on IoT and robotics contributions to frameworks like Artoo and Cylon. Comfortable across Go, Ruby, and JavaScript, Adrian has implemented low-level features from AWS keypair tooling to OpenCV face detection and Firmata-based Arduino drivers. A frequent conference speaker (GopherCon, RubyKaigi, JSConf and others), he pairs public advocacy with prolific open-source commits that bridge firmware, cloud pipelines, and developer tooling. Colleagues rely on him to integrate disparate systems and simplify complex deployment workflows while still shipping thoughtful hardware integrations.
