Summary
Blair Kutzman is a seasoned software engineer with 14+ years building robust tooling and release systems across Microsoft, Google, Intuit, HP and startups, currently serving as Member of Technical Staff at Microsoft AI and Google. He specializes in build/release automation, cross-platform firmware tooling, and test infrastructure—having transformed slow manual processes into fast, reliable, self-service pipelines and centralized build systems used for years.

Outside core roles he contributes practical open-source utilities (Gmail Delay Send), Chrome extensions and volunteer Google Analytics work, reflecting a habit of shipping small tools that solve everyday developer and business problems. Based in San Diego, he blends deep legacy-system experience with a continual appetite for new technologies, from Android to cloud automation.
