Hugo Rut is a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years of experience designing and architecting scalable systems, primarily in Golang, and currently shaping cloud cost tooling at Infracost from Bordeaux. He blends hands-on implementation—contributing both UI and core cost estimation features to the popular Infracost open-source project—with infrastructure and CI/CD improvements that drive FinOps visibility into Terraform workflows. Hugo has a strong consultancy background helping startups and enterprises ship cloud-native services, and has repeatedly led small engineering teams through architecture and hiring phases. Outside of code he pursues sustainable living and adventure sports, applying the same systems-thinking to recipe development and carbon-aware cooking as he does to software.
