Summary
🤩
RockstarAntoine Dao is a Member of Technical Staff with nine years’ experience building cloud-native platforms, developer tooling and data pipelines from Edinburgh. He has led platform teams at NatWest Boxed and worked as a platform engineer at Mettle, delivering Kubernetes-first developer experiences and managing AWS/GCP estates. Antoine contributes to notable open-source projects like Argo Workflows, focusing on backend persistence and secure PostgreSQL integrations, and brings practical DevOps rigor to executor and artifact handling. His background in environmental simulation and energy modelling (Ladybug Tools, BuroHappold) gives him a rare blend of domain modelling, data science tooling and production engineering. Collected experience across startups and enterprise environments means he moves comfortably between hands-on coding, SRE practices and technical leadership. Colleagues know him for cracking tough infrastructure edge-cases—and for the occasional dramatic script failure meme on GitHub.
