Greg L is a senior software engineer with 12 years of experience building and operating high-performance backend and DevOps systems, primarily in Go. He has driven critical infrastructure and migration work at InfluxData—authoring plugins and server features for Telegraf and InfluxDB, consolidating test suites, and migrating task storage from etcd to PostgreSQL—and previously architected core hosting services at Nanobox including custom routers, log/metric aggregators, and storage proxies. A pragmatic full-stack backend engineer, Greg excels at refactoring large codebases, designing migration paths to new storage layers, and bridging gaps between backend and UI teams. Active in open source, his contributions span widely used projects like Telegraf, Chronograf, and InfluxDB where he improved dependency management, plugin ecosystems, and operational tooling. Beyond code, he brings hands-on ops experience from SmartOS and container migrations, and an appetite for practical performance wins—both in software and on rock climbs.
