Top SchoolGreg Rice is a Principal Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building secure, resilient, data-driven microservices and platform infrastructure for large multitenant B2B systems. He prefers Scala, Kotlin, Python, and Java, and has a proven track record delivering observability, CI/CD, and automation at companies from Disney Streaming and Salesforce to Rippling and Chartboost. Greg excels at transforming monoliths into event-driven architectures, optimizing throughput (often multi-hundred percent gains), and reducing operational complexity through thoughtful platform design and IaC. He combines deep systems and DevOps expertise—Terraform, Kubernetes, AWS, gRPC, PostgreSQL—with a strong security and authorization focus, having automated AuthZ/IAM workflows and hardened services in production. Unusually, his background in biochemistry informs his approach to designing self-regulating, monitorable systems that prioritize resilience and feedback. Based in San Francisco, he pairs hands-on engineering with mentoring and cross-functional leadership to scale teams and platforms.
