Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGreg Westerfield is a software engineering manager with 12 years of experience building cloud-native, reliability-focused platforms and developer tools. Currently leading voice orchestration and conversation integrations at Zillow, he combines hands-on Golang microservices, Kubernetes, Temporal, and AWS expertise with a track record of embedding SRE principles into developer platforms. His background includes designing hybrid Kubernetes testbeds at AWS for the popular EKS Anywhere project and building a kubebuilder operator to automate alert remediation at scale.
