Summary
Frank Petrilli is a Staff Production Engineer and seasoned infrastructure technologist with 11+ years building and operating cloud-native systems, Kubernetes platforms, and high-performance networks. He has led SRE and solutions engineering efforts at Google—authoring reliability and security practices for GKE and Vertex AI infra—and now applies that expertise at Meta while running a regional ISP he founded, xyTel. Equally at home in cloud control planes and on tower rooftops, he blends low-level embedded DSP and RF work (ESP32/STM32/CH32, LoRa/LoRaWAN) with production Golang, C/C++, and Python services. Frank’s background spans operator-grade networking (MPLS, DWDM, 10Gb+ DIA) to real-time ARM assembly and custom PCB design, giving him rare end-to-end visibility from silicon to service. He’s a pragmatic leader who pairs hands-on technical depth with customer-facing and management experience, and in his spare time runs multiple home Kubernetes clusters and develops custom ML and autonomous flight systems.
