Top SchoolBenjamin Arntzen is a founder and systems-minded engineer with 11 years building resilient, large-scale infrastructure and distributed storage systems.

As founder of Riff.CC and a contributor to free-culture projects, he blends open-source advocacy with hands-on systems engineering to make information more accessible. His background spans designing hyperconverged clusters, Kubernetes at scale, Ceph and MooseFS deployments, and tooling for machine provisioning and fleet redeployments.
