Summary
👤
SeniorConor Horan-kates is a Principal Member of Technical Staff with 14 years of experience building and testing infrastructure and provisioning systems at scale, currently driving end-to-end ownership of full-stack provisioning at Salesforce in San Francisco. He blends deep QA roots with hands-on development in Ruby, Perl and Java, automated testing, Puppet orchestration and AWS operations to deliver reliable, secure bare-metal and cloud services. Known for whitebox testing, security (blue) assessments and pragmatic architectural contributions, he routinely bridges development, systems engineering and release teams. He mentors engineers, conducts cross-functional interviews, and shapes best practices for testing and automation. An engineer who thrives under pressure, he’s as comfortable writing production features as he is designing Hiera/Puppet backends or authoring high-ROI automation for regression and post-deploy verification.
