Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCorey Shields is a Principal Platform Engineer with 13+ years building resilient, cloud-native and Linux-based platforms, from HPC clusters to multi-tenant AI SaaS on Kubernetes. He combines hands-on systems engineering with people leadership—scaling teams at Mozilla from 5 to 28 and earning a 95% management engagement score—while mentoring engineers in CI/CD, observability, and secure platform practices. At SUPERWISE and prior roles he modernized delivery pipelines, implemented OAuth/OIDC-based IAM, and enabled ML experimentation with Kubeflow and Flowise, reducing platform setup from weeks to hours. An amateur radio operator and electronics hobbyist, he channels those interests into satellite groundstation contributions with Libre Space Foundation’s SatNOGS, bringing a pragmatic, community-minded approach to platform reliability and remote team collaboration.
