Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrendan Slabe is a software engineer with six years of experience focused on cloud-native infrastructure and AI inference, currently building GKE AI Inference at Google. He brings strong backend and DevOps chops from roles at solo.io—where he implemented control plane features for Gloo Edge, GraphQL and gRPC APIs, and CLI tooling—and from open-source contributions to the kgateway AI/cloud-native API gateway, including HTTP/2 refactors and CI/CD work. His practical experience spans Kubernetes health probes, CRDs/Helm, and production automation for telco cloud hardware, reflecting a blend of systems-level thinking and pragmatic delivery. Based in Greater Boston, he pairs a Computer Engineering degree from Boston University with hands-on tutoring and cross-domain problem solving, and he’s comfortable moving features from design through tests to deployment.
