Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCaitlin Schaefer is a pragmatic software engineer with 11 years of cross-disciplinary experience building reliable developer tooling and cloud infrastructure, most recently shaping deployment and Kubernetes reliability at ngrok and consulting as a subject-matter expert for Gruntwork’s Patcher. She blends rigorous engineering habits from Microsoft and Buildkite-based deployment work with a service-oriented mindset honed through years in hospitality and tasting rooms, making her equally comfortable debugging pipelines or guiding customers. Caitlin holds a BS in Electrical Engineering Informatics and an MLIS from the University of Washington, and she couples technical depth with strong developer-experience practice—user interviews, internal tooling telemetry, and documentation—to drive measurable improvements. Notably, she pairs an archivist’s attention to detail with a pencil aficionado’s precision, aiming to “do it right the first time” across both codebases and customer interactions.
