Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolColton Pierson is a founder and engineering leader with 14 years building resilient systems and developer teams, currently creating infrastructure and abstractions for reliable AI agents at Thousand Birds. He scaled Curative’s engineering organization from 8 to 44 engineers and grew testing to 200,000 tests per day, helping deliver over 36 million COVID tests to governments and the U.S. Congress. Earlier roles include early engineer at Figma where he dramatically improved mobile and presentation-mode load times, and co-founding Assembly (YC S15) where he led cross-border engineering and built protocols for reliable media delivery over unreliable networks. Colton blends hands-on performance and systems work with operational scaling and product-driven engineering, and he tends to focus on practical reliability rather than academic complexity. Based in San Francisco, he brings a founder’s instinct for shipping robust infrastructure at product scale.
