Colin Payne-Rogers is a Principal Site Reliability Engineer based in New York with eight years of hands-on experience building scalable, data-driven systems across startups and enterprise environments. He has deep expertise in Python, Django, Postgres, AWS, Docker, and Terraform, and has led efforts to modularize monoliths, scale core databases, and transition teams to multi-production architectures. At Cedar he was a founding member of the Platform Core team and a core maintainer of over ten internal Python packages, and he now applies that platform-first mindset at Magnite. His background spans systems architecture, ML-enabled embedded research, and cybersecurity operations, which gives him a rare blend of reliability, data science, and low-level modeling experience. Collected across MITRE, a stealth startup, and Cedar, his work shows a consistent focus on developer efficiency and operational resilience, plus a relentless curiosity evidenced by dual master’s degrees in Data Science and Mechanical Engineering.
