Top SchoolCornelia Davis is a developer advocate and seasoned cloud-native technologist with over three decades of experience shaping product strategy, developer platforms, and go-to-market efforts. She balances customer-facing work—partnering closely with users to uncover real needs—with writing and speaking to distill those learnings into product evolution and industry guidance, including authoring Cloud Native Patterns. Her career spans leadership and hands-on roles at companies like Temporal, Spectro Cloud, AWS/Alexa AI, Weaveworks and Pivotal, with deep expertise in Kubernetes, platform engineering and internal developer platforms. A longtime contributor to the cloud-native community, she served on the CNCF Technical Oversight Committee and brings practical experience turning open-source innovation into commercial products.

Outside of tech she practices yoga and cooks, reflecting a pragmatic, balanced approach to creativity and problem solving.
