Top SchoolCliff Pyles is an infrastructure engineer with over a decade of hands-on software experience and a 16-year history of designing, deploying, and automating cloud-native systems. He brings deep AWS expertise—spanning Lambda, ECS/EKS, CloudFormation, Terraform, and managed data services—paired with full-stack JavaScript and Python fluency. Cliff has a strong track record in front-end UI libraries, having led JavaScript work on Red Hat’s PatternFly and contributed layout and tooling improvements to that well-known open-source project. As a consultant and principal engineer he has guided architecture and delivery across enterprise clients, and now applies that cross-domain experience at Shopify.

Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic automation, clear API-driven designs, and improvements that reduce operational toil.
