Top SchoolGrant Slatton is a founding engineer with 12 years of experience building high-performance storage and data systems, having led the team that created the filesystem powering AWS S3 and now designing the fastest spreadsheet engine at Row Zero. At AWS he drove major efficiency wins—300% improvement on legacy storage nodes, 70–80% reductions in resource consumption for deletion and repair systems—and built telemetry and load-testing platforms that guided large org decisions. He holds multiple patents in storage technology and has deep expertise in systems design, performance optimization, and production telemetry. Transitioning from hyperscale cloud infrastructure to latency-sensitive consumer tooling, he blends low-level engineering rigor with product-focused delivery. Based in Seattle, he combines hands-on implementation with hiring and technical leadership across startups and large teams.
