Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBen Corrie is a Senior Staff Engineer with over two decades of deep systems experience, best known for leading Kubernetes and container integrations at VMware, including architecting the vSphere Supervisor and the vSphere Integrated Containers engine. He has a rare combination of JVM internals expertise from a decade at IBM and SpringSource with hands-on work in Golang, C/C++, virtualization, resource scheduling and container runtimes, enabling him to design both high-level architectures and low-level implementations. Ben founded and led multiple internal research projects—securing funding for Project Bonneville—and was a principal architect on Project Pacific and Virtual Kubelet work showcased at KubeCon. An experienced conference speaker and multilingual communicator, he pairs technical evangelism with practical delivery of greenfield systems and CI-backed backend tooling (notably contributions to vmware/vic). Currently on a career break from Monroe, Washington, he brings entrepreneurial grit, a track record of shipping complex distributed systems, and an unusual background combining Spanish studies with systems engineering.
