Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolConnor Martin is a Senior Software Engineer based in Seattle with seven years of experience building reliable cloud-native infrastructure and developer tooling. With an MS in Computer Science from Georgia Tech and deep hands-on work at GitHub and Anaconda, he focuses on Infrastructure as Code, Go, observability, and provisioning systems that improve uptime for critical services. At GitHub he helped codify model deployments for Copilot, ran A/B experiments to evaluate models, and tightened API performance and security—bringing ML deployment rigor into core infra. His open-source contributions to conda and Vagrant show a practical bent for build systems, package metadata, and robust validation automation. Known as a mentor who trains both senior and junior engineers, he blends operational reliability with a curiosity for data-driven decision making and dependency graph systems. An interesting through-line: he’s built both the datalake and graph DBs for package ecosystems, pairing infrastructure expertise with deep package-management insight.
