Senior🎓
Top SchoolCory Forward is an engineering manager and seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience building backend systems, DevOps tooling, and distributed, data-intensive applications at Dataminr. He combines hands-on expertise in containerization, Linux administration, SQL/NoSQL databases, and CI/CD with a track record of leading cross-team migrations and reliability improvements—most notably migrating teams off a self-hosted RabbitMQ cluster to a managed service. Cory mentors junior engineers, drives end-to-end ownership and testing discipline, and has led design and implementation of authorization, user-management, and audit frameworks for large enterprise customers. He started building software as a teen—founding a small consultancy—and retains a pragmatic, tool-building mindset evident in creating QA and integration frameworks that dramatically reduced test time and infrastructure costs. Interested in SRE, distributed systems, vulnerability analysis, and scaling engineering organizations, he is actively seeking open source opportunities to broaden his public footprint. Based in Bozeman, Montana, he pairs technical depth with a focus on team performance and operational resilience.
