Summary
Ed Bond is a Chief Architect based in Austin with over a decade of hands-on experience turning complex ideas into production-ready cloud systems. He has led architecture and cloud initiatives at Devo and RSA and runs Mere Technology, where he built an Elixir/Kubernetes/GraphQL platform that powers integrations and automations for churches and consumer app stores. Comfortable across the stack, he designs solutions from requirements through operations, emphasizing Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, GraphQL, and observability with Elasticsearch and log aggregation. He has driven virtualization and automation efforts (including prototyping an OpenStack-based private cloud) to shorten build and test cycles and standardize deployments. Known for pragmatic engineering practices—auto-generating types from GraphQL contracts, dockerized CI pipelines, and field-level policy controls—he blends operational rigor with developer ergonomics. His background in security-conscious environments and experience with diverse teams and languages (Swift, Kotlin, Python, React) make him adept at delivering frictionless infrastructure at scale.
