Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolAren Edlund is a Senior Staff Technical Program Manager based in Portland, Oregon, with 10 years of experience building cloud-native, high-performance software across music, automotive, e-commerce, and AI hardware domains. He combines deep hands-on technical skills—from C++ and embedded Linux to Next.js, React, Kubernetes, and IaC—with program leadership that drives cross-functional delivery and performance optimization, most recently advancing RISC-V software at Tenstorrent. Aren has a track record of scaling teams and systems: leading architecture and DevOps groups, instituting CI/CD across microservices, and delivering reliable distributed systems for constrained embedded platforms and web products alike. He is as comfortable negotiating product and engineering trade-offs as he is diving into kernel and systems-level performance work, bridging hardware and software to accelerate real-world outcomes. An early career as a dealership mechanic informs his pragmatic, systems-thinking approach and appetite for hands-on problem solving. His long-term aim is to translate this blend of technical depth and organizational leadership into a CTO role at a mid-to-large company.
