Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAllen Sallinger is a Developer Experience Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building scalable infrastructure, platform tooling, and automation across startups, scaleups, and larger companies. He specializes in making teams productive—terraforming AWS environments, running Kubernetes/EKS, and creating CI/CD and observability patterns that reduce toil and incident time. At Great Expectations he architected a hosted GX Cloud product, led ops maturity (SoC → SOC2), cut DataDog spend by 80%, and trained 20+ engineers to operate their services. He balances deep backend/DevOps craft with a systems-engineering mindset focused on enabling others, and he shares that practice externally through AfterCompSci, a course and blog that bridges academia and real-world engineering. Based in California, he combines pragmatic automation with a teacher’s instinct for upskilling teams.
