Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDuffie Cooley is a Field CTO and seasoned cloud-native generalist with 11+ years designing and operationalizing distributed systems for companies like Isovalent, VMware, Apple, and CoreOS. He specializes in container and orchestration technologies—Kubernetes, Mesos, Docker/Moby, OpenStack—and prefers fast-paced, deeply technical environments where test-driven practices and teaching are central to his approach. Duffie blends hands-on engineering, customer-facing field experience, and internal platform architecture to guide teams through transitions to modern ops models. Known for building dogfood-driven infrastructure and pragmatic automation, he helps organizations bridge the gap between engineering intent and reliable production operations. Based in San Francisco, he’s equally comfortable troubleshooting network virtualization as he is evangelizing new patterns to engineering teams.
