Summary
Anthony Blardo is a Senior Software Engineer and founder with 14 years of hands-on experience building full-stack, cloud-native systems and operationalizing modern tech to reduce OpEx and increase reliability. He has led SRE and systems teams through Kubernetes migrations, containerization, CI/CD, and performance tuning, and has managed transitions from Heroku to AWS and large-scale configuration management rollouts.

Based in Clearwater, Florida, he combines managerial experience (IT and project management) with deep infrastructure and application-level expertise, and now channels 20+ years of curiosity into FuncLab to help businesses run leaner.
