Top SchoolCraig Tabita is a Senior Engineer with seven years of experience building cloud-native infrastructure and back-end systems, currently contributing to Meanwhile after a multi-year stint at Google. At Google he helped evolve Anthos Config Management and a proprietary Policy Controller derived from the open-source Gatekeeper project, driving policy libraries, tooling, and productization efforts for multi-cloud Kubernetes governance. He has strong Go and Python experience, deep familiarity with Kubernetes admission controllers and observability (including watch manager and error-handling improvements in Gatekeeper), and a history of shipping APIs and migrations across startups and scale-ups. Earlier roles at Chariot and GoFundMe sharpened his API and platform design skills for real-world consumer and logistics products. A Georgia Tech alumnus who edited the campus paper and played ice hockey, he brings a blend of technical rigor, product sensibility, and a personal commitment to free software, sustainable transport alternatives, and Bitcoin. Colleagues describe him as the kind of engineer who surfaces subtle reliability issues and turns them into durable, testable solutions.
